Here is a 1905 P Indian Head Penny that has been submitted to PCGS for restoration and graded as VG Detail because of some minor damage on the front. It was submitted because I felt that it was an RPD FS-301 variety, however, it does not fit the definition of an FS-301. To qualify, the original 5 should have been punched to the south (bottom) of the final 5. However, what this coin shows is an earlier 5 being punched to the north of the final 5. Thus, my mistake is your gain. For what it is worth, you can see from the photos that the front, unlike so many other coins, is aligned almost perfectly with the reverse. PCGS (January/February 2022) shows a VG 8 coin to be worth $2 while USACoinbook warrants that if you were to go to a dealer and buy a VG 8 coin that it would cost you a little over $3. But you can have this restored and graded coin for only $1 (plus shipping).
This item is a part of a liquidation sale currently in progress and is priced to sell. Retirement looms and with no one else in the family interested in this pastime, it is time to find new homes for all of my coins. Please note that other avenues of liquidation are being explored so this particular item may not be around much longer.
Unlike my other coins, this coin will NOT be sent via Certified Mail because of its low price (thus the reduced shipping cost). If this coin is purchased by itself, the purchaser assumes all risk in the coin not arriving. If this is a problem, it is recommended that this coin be purchased with at least one other that would be sent via Certified Mail (see the instructions in the next paragraph). Not only will this ensure that this coin is tracked, it also will reduce your shipping costs. (Note that if purchased with another coin that will be sent via Certified Mail, the base shipping cost is $6, not the $4.50 quoted below.)
Please note that the system is not structured to adjust the shipping charges unless I were selling several coins under a single listing. (I have not seen anyone on USACoinbook do this.) Thus, if you were to order multiple coins from me (each a different denomination/year/mint/grade/etc), you could be socked with what seems to be outrageous shipping costs. To overcome this, order all of the coins you want, but do NOT pay yet. I can then go in and adjust the invoice to bring the shipping costs to a more reasonable level. At this time you should pay me.
If paying by check or money order, this coin will be shipped once funds have cleared.
Thanks for looking.
