1886 Type One Cent, MS66 Red
Rare This Fine

1886 1C Type One MS66 Red PCGS. The border legend wraps around closer to the date on the Type One 1886 cent. Both varieties are elusive in high grade with full Red luster and are major rarities at the MS66 Red level. PCGS lists only six examples of each in this condition and none finer (2/18). Examples of the 1886 cent in this top grade appear at auction so infrequently that it is possible there are fewer top-grade pieces known than the certification services report.

This Premium Gem Type One coin displays a touch of gold at 12 o'clock on each side but is otherwise deep copper-orange and cherry-red. The strike is sharp and almost no carbon is visible. A major Registry Set opportunity.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 272Y, PCGS# 2156, Greysheet# 1373)

Weight: 3.11 grams
