Description

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.
