1888 Indian Cent, MS67 Red
Tied for Finest in Red
Registry Set Opportunity

1888 1C MS67 Red PCGS. The 1888 Indian cent is a remarkably rare date in high grade, much more so than many collectors fully realize. The certified population declines rapidly in grades above MS65, regardless of color designation, and Superb Gems are major rarities. This coin, plus one other MS67 Red piece, are the only 1888 cents graded at the MS67 level at PCGS, with none finer. NGC lists five MS67 coins and one MS68 coin in the Brown color category, but none are this fine in Red and Brown or with full Red surfaces at that service . This Superb Gem displays a notably sharp strike and satiny copper-orange luster. A lone fleck beneath the D in UNITED serves as a useful pedigree marker for this piece. PCGS Population: 3 in 67, 0 finer (3/26).
