Description

Elusive Gem Red 1869 Indian Cent

1869 1C MS65 Red NGC. The mintage of 1869 cents dropped to 6.4 million from the 9-10 million/year produced in the previous three years, and examples of the 1869 are considerably rarer in all grades. In Gem Red condition, this date is much more elusive and underrated than generally known, according to Bowers. This piece offers marvelous luster over pinkish-red surfaces with a few areas of deeper red. Census: 12 in 65 Red, 2 finer (4/08).
