Description

1887 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Struck on a high quality planchet that was supplied by Joseph Wharton, this is a remarkably clean and problem-free cent from this year. Delicate die cracks are seen through the digits in the date and other peripheral locations on both sides, indicating overuse of this particular die pairing. Bright orange and red coloration is seen on each side and the striking details are a bit less than complete. Population: 13 in 66 Red, 2 finer (2/09).
