Description
1885 Indian Cent, MS66+ Red
Lovely Condition Census Example
1885 1C MS66+ Red PCGS. CAC. This is a simply stunning
example of the 1885 cent, both in terms of its razor-sharp strike
and the unabraded, spot-free surfaces it beholds. The early die
state is apparent in the fine die striations that remain in the
obverse fields, while uniform rose-gold color characterizes each
side.We have seen Premium Gem Red examples of this issue on 14 prior occasions, including duplicate appearances of a few examples, and the current coin is certainly among the most attractive pieces we have seen so graded. A single MS67 Red PCGS coin is reported finer, but it has never been offered at public auction to our knowledge. Population: 26 in 66 (6 in 66+) Red, 1 finer. CAC: 6 in 66, 1 finer (1/25).(Registry values: N2998)
From The Douglas Wright Collection of Indian Head Cents.
