Description
Astonishing 1902 Cent, MS68 Red
The Finest Certified
1902 1C MS68 Red NGC. Both sides of this incredibly vibrant
orange-gold example are ablaze with satiny luster and totally void
of unsightly blemishes. Although slight weakness is noted at the
tips of the Indian's feathers--typical for the issue--this example
possesses an above average strike as evinced by the bold shield
details and complete dentilation. This is as close to a perfect
Indian Cent as one is likely to find. As of (11/08), NGC has
certified only one 1902 cent at the MS68 Red level,
with--unsurprisingly--none finer. More astonishing is the fact that
both services combined have only certified five coins at this lofty
grade in the entire series (1864-1909). Certainly a fleeting
opportunity to purchase one of the very finest examples of this
popular issue.Ex: The Rarities Sale (Bowers and Merena, 8/1998), lot 44 where it realized $5,060; Central States Signature Sale (Heritage, 5/2005), lot 5234 where it realized $10,350.(Registry values: N4719)
