2 new purchases....

crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 14,253 ✭✭✭✭✭
I've been taking it very slow these days for a few reasons. A while back I decided to get my feet wet again and purchase a couple of new pieces. Not wanting to get far away from my zone I stayed conservative with my purchases as they are not buffalo nickel's.
I ran across a nice 57 flyer and a kinda nice Indian head cent, proof, brown. Here they are now. Any comments are always welcome and thank you for looking.
Happy hunting, Joe

    FE looks like a solid au58, if not higher, but the light scratches on the reverse could be a negative factor.



    The 1908 is difficult to grade from the pictures, but it looks spectacular. I have no idea if the little oxidation mark on the reverse will hamper a high grade.

    Thanks! I was shooting from the cheap seats . The 08 has been graded PR-64 brown by NGC. The flyer is raw and I think it's uncirculated as I see no rub.
    Thanks again.

    I like both, and think the flyer would be at least a 58, with a shot at a lower MS grade
    (I had a similar raw one that the hosts graded 62).

    May have spent some time in commerce, as the fields are a little dull with some light scratches & lines, but the devices appear to have no wear. I could see it in a 62 slab but wouldn't be surprised at 58.

    I love colorful IHCs. Very nice 1908 you have there. image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Agree the Flyer is fine as a 58 with a short to 61/62.



    The IHC as 64 BN seems good value even with the spot. I'd have called no less than 64 RB. Has many qualities of a 65.
