After spending last night and this morning freaking out a little about this coin's whereabouts (because the Tracking info. said it was Delivered last night at 6:10 pm), this 1859 showed up this afternoon. I've always liked the reverse without the shield and even though I wasn't really looking for one, I decided to go ahead buy it. Seeing it in hand today...I'm glad I did. Just wanted to share - comments/feedback both good and bad welcomed.

    Good looking cent! Especially nice for grade (AU55/58?)

    Looks like a David Kahn background

    Excellent choice and a very sweet example! Nice going.

    Glad it wasn't lost! Was there a delivery timeframe guarantee for yesterday?

    oih82w8 - yes, it was a David Kahn purchase.
    lkeigwin - wasn't any delivery guarantee they would have missed...who knows, just glad it showed up!

    Can't go wrong with David Kahn. He has a great eye, loves originality and nice surfaces. He's as honest as they come. Super reliable. Can't say enough nice things about him.

    Some day I will get him to correct the color of his images. Your coin looks more like this.

    Sweet! What did that one grade, if you don't mind me asking?

    Lance - totally agree on David Khan...great dealer. Also, your images do capture the actual tan color of the coin a little better.

    GaCoinGuy - its in a PCGS AU-58 holder.

    David is top notch.

    Great coin for type or a date set.
    I do like Lance's photos better - the pinkish hue in the first photos seemed a bit odd.

    That is a really nice IHC.... would have thought the grade was a tad higher.. Great cent. Cheers, RickO

    Here`s a classic example of how you learn something new everyday...
    Per looking in Coinfacts after seeing the OP...
    "In 1860, the wreath was altered and a small shield was added to the top of the reverse."
    I did not know that the Shield was not included on the 1859 issue.
    That is a very cool looking Indian that you added to your collection.

    I always liked '59's......I had my eye on a 64 that was on a members website some years back. then the dealer passed away. I can't remember his name but he was well liked.

    Beautiful example. This is exactly the type of coin I'd want for my type set. Now that you've owned it for a bit, wanna sell? :smile:
