1866 Indian Cent, MS66 Red
Elusive and Sole Finest at NGC

1866 1C MS66 Red NGC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. The 1866 Indian cent is an elusive issue to find even in Gem grade, much less the Premium Gem level of the present NGC-certified example. PCGS reports only 28 in MS65 Red and eight MS66 Red; NGC shows 12 in MS65 Red, and only this sole example in the top MS66 Red grade (5/19). This lilac-tan example is sharply struck for the issue, which normally is on the soft side, and the carbon and contact marks that so often afflict this early Indian cent date are absent here. A small, straight-line die crack runs through the tops of OF to the rim on the obverse. Light clash marks appear on the reverse.
