Here's one of the most beautiful Indian cents I own - I got it in the last Bowers & Merena auction in Baltimore. I was very pleased to win it and to be able to add it to my collection!!!

    Yes, I would rate that IHC among the best I've seen on this forum.

    But I remember a toned 1877 IHC someone posted about a year ago that to my recollection, may give yours a running for the number one spot.

    This 1879 actually reminds me of my own 1877 - here's the full picture.

    Charmy - almost every IHC you post is among the most stunning I've ever seen. This is certainly no exception.

    Wow Charmy! To say, "I'm jealous" would be like saying, "Babe Ruth could hit a baseball".

    Seems like the 79 could have easily gone RB also... And they are both, "stop you in your tracks" beautiful.

    Both are terrific looking coins, but I real love that 1879...image

    Nice!! No CAC stickers???
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I know some people prefer to have those, but they really don't mean much to me. IMHO, a coin speaks for itself.

    I haven't seen an IHC higher than MS 66 before, either in person or via an image. Charmy, your IHC seems to be "all there" for the grade.

    Charmy:

    That 1879 cent has tremendous character and eye appeal.

    I noted that PCGS has graded only one (1) MS-67BN (1893 date) and none higher in brown.

    Yet PCGS has graded 85 in MS-67RD!.

    Very very interesting.

    Beautiful coin but the B&M photos make it look less than stunning. I guess will viewed the coin at the auction.
