    Who knows if it would get slabbed and really who cares. Nice coin and it looks like it might have a die clash. What does the reverse look like? Interesting cent.

    I dont think twice if the price is right (sometimes that can be a bad thing) this one was less than $10 if I remember correctly

    Yep that is a nice clashed-die cent. If you rotate the reverse 180 degrees you can see the profile of the Indian on the reverse. Nice find. The mark on the obverse by the profile near the eye is the C from cent.

    FANTASIC overlay, IrishMike! You can especially see the Indian through the reverse of Fullhorn's example.

    Very image

    Sorry, the IHC has been harshly cleaned and will get bagged if you send in for grading. This is tgoo bad, because it's nicely struck. Look at the numerous small hairlines all over the obverse. The coin's luster is dead and the color is unnatural. The tan, pink & purple colors on a business strike mean the coin has been played with.

    For $10, I think you did fine, but save your $; don't send it in to be graded.
