Bright, Full Red 1886 Type One Cent, MS65

1886 1C Type One MS65 Red PCGS. Struck from the old hub, according to Rick Snow the Type One coins "typically come on lighter colored planchets that toned quickly. As such full red examples are very difficult to locate." This piece certainly proves the rule about lighter colored planchets as this coin has bright, variegated yellow-orange-red color. The striking details are complete throughout, and the coin is identifiable by an irregular planchet flaw above the C in CENT.
From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.
