1878 Cent, MS66 Red
Only One Coin Numerically Finer

1878 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Although not considered a significant key issue, in Gem or finer full Red grades, the 1878 Indian cent is only marginally more plentiful than the key-date 1877. This Premium Gem representative displays sharp detail throughout the headdress feathers, ribbon, and wreath, and delicately preserved surfaces exhibit satiny coppery-gold luster that deepens to orange-red over the reverse. Only a couple tiny specks are detectable with magnification. Population: 15 in 66 Red, 1 finer (3/15).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2285, PCGS# 2132, Greysheet# 1349)
