Superb Red 1868 Indian Cent

1868 1C MS67 Red ICG. This is, first and foremost, a beautiful coin that the specialist will wish to view in person. It is fully lustrous and predominantly golden-bronze in color, with traces of woodgrain toning most notable on the reverse. Small planchet flakes can be seen near the TE in UNITED and the N in CENT, and appear to be as struck. Actual contact marks, however, are in the short supply one might expect from the assigned grade, with most undetectable without magnification. The strike is less than full, as is common with cents of this date, yet the barely noticeable weakness is limited to the usual locations of the obverse diamonds and the reverse shield. All in all, a prize for the cent specialist who values eye appeal in his collection.
