One of my very favorite coins yet I could never take a pic of it that did it proper justice.

A big "Thank You" to @messydesk for imaging it for me at the Philly ANA.
Now everyone can see what I see.
I think he did an outstanding job.

Let's see yours.

    That is a gorgeous IHC....I do not have a proof IHC, however, looking at your coin sure makes me want one. Cheers, RickO

    Love Proof IHC. I have two that my great great grandfather received as a Politician. I am always thankful that they have been taken care of, and passed down all of these years later.

    Brown is the best color for old copper!

    The 1900 IHCs have lower coinage numbers.

    Purchased this one in a PCGS holder. Looked Cameo to me, so off to NGC for confirmation:

    Very mad at myself for selling it!

    Nice coins!
    I prefer the look of proof browns over reds and red browns.

    This one should get the ugly award. I watched it turn in the holder over the years. It was once really pretty.

    Great examples shown. Each is unique and I enjoy them all.

    @BG, I don't ever recall seeing BN CAM before. Spectacular little gem.
