Description
1869 Cent, MS66 Red
Among the Finest
1869 1C MS66 Red NGC. A large portion of the 1869 Indian
Head cent mintage (6.4 million pieces) was apparently released into
circulation at the time of issue, as the nation was still emerging
from the coin shortage of the Civil War, and there were real needs
for coinage in the channels of commerce. Additionally, relatively
few pieces were saved, as the fairly large mintage resulted in no
special attention given to the date by collectors.The orange-gold surfaces of this Premium Gem are laced with wisps of light green, crimson, and sky-blue. A full strike is seen throughout, including strong detail in all four diamonds and in the feather tips. Both sides are devoid of mentionable contacts or unsightly spots. Census: 2 in 66 Red, 0 finer (12/11).
