Finest Graded 1885 Cent, MS67 Red and Brown

1885 1C MS67 Red and Brown NGC. As of (4/08), the major grading services have assigned exactly three 1885 cents grades of MS67 -- two coins designated Brown, and this coin, designated Red and Brown. The surfaces are a melange of red, green, and orange throughout, with any brown color extremely limited in impact; indeed, the piece presents essentially as Red. A couple of pinprick carbon spots appear to be the only thing separating the coin from an even higher grade. The eye appeal is that expected of a Superb coin and then some; in fact, the only thing preventing it from carrying the ★ designation for eye appeal may be the fact that NGC graded it before the advent of the designation. An absolute beauty.
