Description

1883 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Both sides are awash in full pinkish-red luster with blushes of pale lilac shadings in select areas at the denticles. The devices are fully brought up in all areas, and there is not a single blemish that would call into question the validity of the MS67 designation. A small, pale swirl of deeper color in the reverse field below the N in CENT is mentioned solely as a pedigree marker. Despite a mintage of nearly 45.6 million pieces, the 1883 cent ranks as a condition rarity in MS67 Red; NGC and PCGS have certified only 10 such pieces between them and none finer (3/09).
