Description
1885 Cent, Glowing MS66+ Red
Bright Surfaces, Semireflective Fields
1885 1C MS66+ Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Joshua and Ally Collection.
The relatively lower mintage of 11.7 million pieces for the 1885
cent is probably a reflection of the Mint's inability to locate
good quality bronze planchets at a fair price. This is a bright
orange-red coin that has noticeable (with a magnifier) die
striations in the fields, which impart a semireflective sheen over
each side. Sharply struck throughout with no mentionable surface
flaws other than a couple of tiny carbon specks on the obverse.
Population: 23 in 66 (6 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 5 in 66, 0 finer
(5/19).Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 803.
