Description
Pleasing 1870 Indian Cent, MS66 Red
1870 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Ally Collection. When William Barber took over the job of chief engraver after James B. Longacre's death in 1869, he made slight modifications to the reverse hub of the Indian cent. Without going into detail, this single year is represented by three different hub varieties. This particular coin was struck from the newer hub, which is immediately recognizable by the strong N at the bottom of ONE. The obverse is especially well struck, with only slight softness evident on the shield on the upper reverse. Orange-red and cherry-red coloration is intermixed over both sides, and the coin is well balanced in appearance. There are no obvious abrasions on either side, and just a few specks of deeper color are evident on the obverse. Population: 4 in 66 Red, 0 finer (3/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
