Auction 394 | Lot 3056 » Small Cents » Indian Cents
1871 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Since 1857, the mint had been redeeming Half Cents and Large Cents and melting them for recoinage into Indian Cents. By 1871, the supply of such redeemed coins had dwindled so low that the Philadelphia mint could produced only 3.9 million new Cents. Most of these coins were placed directly into circulation, where they remained until well worn or lost. As a result, the 1871 is one of the premier condition rarities in the Indian Cent series, with PCGS reporting just two coins at the MS66 Red level of preservation; NGC has not graded one finer than MS65! This attractive and important Gem is alive with red-orange and copper-golden luster that is free of both toning and conspicuous carbon. Both sides are also devoid of distracting handling marks, and the razor sharp strike should not be overlooked.
From The Joshua and Ally Walsh Collection of United States Cents. (PCGS# 2102)

Auction 328 | Lot 5298 » Small Cents » Indian Cents
1871 1C MS65 Red PCGS. When the small cent began to replace the large cents and half cents in 1857, the mint started to redeem these coins from circulation and recycled the melted copper into small cent production. This was continued until 1871 when there was a shortage, resulting in a limited production of only 3.9 million coins. Most of these entered the channels of commerce and were well used; few were saved by collectors. This is an exemplary example boasting exceptionally bright luster, rich red color overall, and a very bold strike. Conditionally rare and highly desirable in this fine grade. Population: 15 in 65, 2 finer (4/03). (PCGS# 2102)

1871 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Razor sharp with intense satin-like luster and attractive pale golden coloration. A delicate halo of olive patina outlines each side and there is a modest splash of orange across the lower portion of the obverse. Precious few 1871 Cents have survived in this near-ultimate condition. Population: 14 in 65, 2 finer (3/02).

Auction 308 | Lot 4428 » Small Cents » Indian Cents
1871 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Many of the Cents produced in the early part of the Indian series were struck on planchets whose copper was supplied from the Mint's stockpile of redeemed Half Cents and large Cents. By 1871, however, this backlog of copper had been largely recoined with the result that Cent production sank to just 3.9 million coins that year. Scarce in all grades, the 1871 is downright rare as a Gem, particularly a fully lustrous one. The Gorrell specimen is every bit the equal of the example in the Marvin Elkin Collection (the Jon/Lor PCGS Registry Set) that realized $10,925 as lot 5076 in our June 2002 Long Beach Signature Sale. Both coins display needle sharp striking definition with the complete luster on the present example being orange-red in color. Modest, yet appreciable cartwheel visual effects are seen mostly on the obverse, but smooth, carefully preserved features are evident throughout. NGC and PCGS combined report 19 coins at the MS65 Red level, with only two MS66 Red PCGS coins finer (10/02).

1871 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Only 3.9 million Indian cents were struck in 1871, and, as a result, high grade pieces are especially difficult to locate. Those with intact red luster are even more challenging. This is a blemish-free example whose only deterrent to an even higher grade is a very slight speckling of carbon on each side. Fully struck with lovely, original, orange-red mint luster over both sides. The fields have a faint frosty sheen adding even more to the eye appeal of this attractive, conditionally scarce Gem. Population: 16 in 65 Red, 2 finer (11/05). (PCGS# 2102)

1871 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Only 3.9 million Indian cents were struck in 1871, and as a result, high-grade pieces are especially elusive. Those who seek a fully Red example find the difficulty compounded. This is a blemish-free example whose only deterrent to an even higher grade is a minor amount of carbon, most visible as a single speck to the left of Liberty's nose. The strike is far better than the norm, with excellent definition on the feathers of the headdress and on the wreath. The main attraction for this piece, of course, is the reddish-orange of the surfaces, which displays only the slightest fading. An exceptionally desirable Gem, housed in a green label holder. Population: 16 in 65 Red, 2 finer (12/06). (PCGS# 2102)
