Description: 1881 INDIAN HEAD CENT KM-90a IN AG ( OR ABOUT GOOD ) CONDITION ; COMPOSITION = BRONZE This Indian head is in AT LEAST SOLID ABOUT GOOD condition , and slightly better by A.N.A. STANDARDS !!! [ A.N.A. = American Numismatic Association ] This is an example of an Indian head penny minted before the 20th century. The coin has a dark patina, and on the obverse the words " LIBERTY " ARE NOT VISIBLE AND THERE IS HEAVY WEAR. ALTHOUGH THE 4 DIAMONDS ARE NOT VISIBLE , THE REVERSE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER & THIS COIN MAKES A GOOD FILLER ITEM FOR ANY COLLECTION . *** SPECIAL NOTES *** : FOR I.H.P.s , IN EXTRA-FINE [EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION BY A. N. A. STANDARDS] , ALL FOUR DIAMONDS ON THE RIBBON TRAILING FROM THE LADY'S HAIR ACROSS HER NECK MUST SHOW BOLDLY !!! *** TIRED OF OVERGRADING ??? I USED TO SHOP REGULARLY AT A COIN STORE WHERE THE OWNER HAS FULL PAGE SPREAD ADDS IN COIN PRICES , NUMISMATIC NEWS , ETC. ; HE USED TO [ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO] BE A FAIR & AN HONEST GRADER ... THEN GREED TOOK OVER , AND HE STARTED TO SEE WHAT THE MARKET COULD BEAR , THAT IS , HE STARTED TO SELL COINS FOR TOO MUCH MONEY : HE EITHER OVERGRADED THEM , OR HE STARTED NEGLECTING TO REDUCE THE GRADE TO ACCOUNT FOR COINS WITH ANY SERIOUS FLAWS [RIM CUTS , SCRATCHES, DINGS , DIGS , ETC.] WITHOUT LOWERING THE GRADE OF THE COIN AT LEAST ONE OR TWO NOTCHES , WHICH SERIOUSLY OVERVALUES THE ITEM ... I SAY DON'T FALL FOR THIS KIND OF TREATMENT !!! WHEN I SELL A COIN , I ALWAYS ADD DETAILED NOTES ABOUT ANY " NOT SO OBVIOUS " DAMAGE TO THE COIN , ESPECIALLY THOSE FLAWS WHICH DON'T READILY SHOW UP & SHARPLY IN A DIGITAL PHOTO , OR IF A COIN IS GRADED "UNC" OR BETTER , SMALLER SLICES OR " FINE-HAIR " SCRATCHES (ETC.) NOT READILY VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE : IN EFFECT , THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEM I'VE ENCOUNTERED WHEN BUYING OVER THE YEARS , AND ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERNET... AND I HAVE HAD TO " STOP BEING SO NICE " [ NICE GUY = " HELLO SUCKER ," TO THE OLD TIGHTWADS WITH THE EAR-TO-EAR GRINS !!! ] SO, AS I WAS SAYING , DON'T LET THE OLD SKIN-FLINTS GET AWAY WITH SUCH HIGHWAY ROBBERY , AND KEEP YOUR EYES ON THOSE ANXIOUS , AMBITIOUS YOUNG BUCKS (OR DOES) TOO !!! DON'T BE MISLED !!! IF YOU HAVEN'T CAUGHT ON TO THIS PRACTICE , I SUGGEST YOU BONE UP ON YOUR GRADING SKILLS TODAY ... & SOON & HOW & NOW KID !!! IN THE FUTURE I WILL START TO SELL CURRENT EDITIONS BOTH OF THE REDBOOK AND OF THE STANDARD ANA PHOTO-GRADE USA COIN GUIDE *** EXTRA , EXTRA !!! NEW 2024 REDBOOK GOING ON SALE SOON , SO BE LOOKING FOR A POSTPAID ' NEW REDBOOK ' ITEM ON MY STORE , COMING SOON ; AND IF YOU STILL WANT AN OLDER EDITION , JUST DROP ME AN EMAIL AT EBAY MESSAGES !!! .... and as I was saying about this coin.... Better grab this 1881 Indian Head penny soon before someone else does !!! *** EXTRA NOTES *** : THIS COIN SHIPS WITH DELIVERY CONFIRMATION TRACKING NUMBER TO DOMESTIC LOCATIONS ONLY ; SENT ABROAD TO ALLOWED INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WITH A CUSTOMS DECLARATION (PLEASE SEE COUNTRY EXCLUSION LIST BEFORE BUYING) !!
