[Guest]

I'm no IHC guy, but this auction has me second-guessing my own understanding of the word original.

I like where he says >I am not a professional grader,

I wonder what he would grade it as if he were, given that he knows it is original?

What is even funnier is when you click on the link and see the coin, ebay directs you right below it to other coins of the same year and you can see a 1870 in very good condition. Daaaa.

To be fair; it looks much more like copper fresh from the ground then a regular IHC does.

At least he didn't try to sell it as a mint error. Original? Yeah if he means original and damaged condition.

Very nice coin. NOT. Cannot even be used as a hole filler.
