1857 1/2 C MS64 Red PCGS. Final year of issue for the denomination, this is an excellent type coin that displays even red luster over each side with just a touch of deeper color in the center of the obverse. Sharply defined throughout with strong definition in the centers as well as around the peripheries. Kept from a full Gem grade by the presence of a carbon spot next to the denticles at 10 o'clock on the obverse.

1859 1C MS65 NGC. First year of the Indian cent obverse, but differing from the later years with a laurel wreath on the reverse rather than oak, and the coin's composition copper-nickel, rather than bronze as adopted in 1864. This is a lustrous piece that is light in color, especially on the obverse. Sharply struck on the obverse, there is just the slightest bit of softness at the top of the reverse.

1909-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Only 309,000 pieces were struck of this final-year Indian Cent, creating a key issue that rivals the 1877 in desirability. This is a lovely piece that has smooth, lustrous surfaces that are slightly varied in hue with lighter, more orange-tinted centers and deeper reddish margins. A bit softly struck, as always seen on this issue, with no obvious abrasions or carbon spots. Population: 99 in 65, 10 finer (4/03).

1859 1C PR64 PCGS. Always a popular coin because of its one-year type status, as well as having a low (but unknown) net mintage after 800 proofs were originally struck and an unknown number melted at year's end. The obverse is especially bright and is, in fact, very close to the original "white" color these coins had when new. The reverse displays a rich overlay of pale rose and olive patina. But what is perhaps most noticeable about this lovely coin is the incredible depth of reflectivity in the fields. Kept from the Gem category by the presence of a spot at the bottom of ES in STATES.

1877 1C PR65 Red and Brown NGC. Struck from the "Bulged T" reverse that was first used to strike proofs in 1872, the right pennant of the T in CENT is in much higher relief than the other parts of that letter. It is currently believed that 910 proofs were struck of this important issue. Most of each side is red but there are significant portions that are also emerald-green (not actually brown). A lovely Gem example with a minimum of surface distractions. Population: 54 in 65, 12 finer (4/03).
