While I like anomaly coins, my Woodie is a great example in why grading a coin can be so difficult. If you can see past the light and dark of the improperly annealed surfaces, you will see a coin that is approaching perfection. One small ding on the cheek and an almost imperceptible mark across the '7'. High luster and Red-Brown, this coin lives in one of the older NGC solid holders.
Care to try to grade it?

Re: 1876 IHC Woodie
Just saw this one and was going to say 64 BN. Really nice one with no nicks or dings on the rim.
This is probably a good example of how much importance they place on eye appeal.
(Not to hijack this thread, but I was talking to a friend who has a relative grading for NGC that said that that individual personally graded 4,200 coins at a three day numismatic event a week or two ago. As a bonus they also got to see, in hand, more than a handful of top graded specimens.)

Re: 1876 IHC Woodie
I know eye appeal plays a part in the grade, but I'm amazed that the grader on this coin looked past the "woodie" coloring and saw the actual surface.
Of course, if I sent it in today, I wonder what it would grade?
PS. Just wanted to point out that a close-up photo does this coin an injustice. Held in hand, you almost cannot see the "woodie" effect on the obverse.
