Description
Splendid Gem Red 1886 Type Two Cent
1886 1C Type Two MS65 Red PCGS. Bowers' Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents estimates that about 20% of the mintage exceeding 17 million coins for the 1886 issue consists of the Type Two pieces. Those show the lowest feather in the headdress pointing between CA rather than IC in AMERICA, the result of a new master obverse die. The variety has long been recognized by collectors (since 1954), and its Guide Book listing only serves to enhance its popularity. A roll of the Type Two variety sold as early as the Auction '81 sale for $30,000 or $600 per coin.In MS65 Red this piece is among only seven pieces so graded at PCGS, with a single one finer (3/09). This splendid Gem boasts jade-green and almond-tan obverse toning, with deeper glints of red-orange on the reverse. The strike is exceptional, as is the overall eye appeal.
