1888/7 Indian Cent, VF30
Sought-After Snow-1 Overdate

1888/7 1C Snow-1, FS-301, VF30 PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. FS-101 is a rather rare overdate variety, with only a few dozen examples known to numismatists. Rick Snow calls it the "top variety of the Indian Cent series." Two pick-up points are visible on this middle-grade example: the lower tip of a 7 is visible at the bottom left corner of the final 8 in the date, and a small rim cud appears at 9 o'clock on the obverse. The rim cud is the predominant identifier of this variety, typically being visible even when the overdate feature itself is obscured by wear on lower-grade pieces. This coin displays pleasing chocolate-brown patina and smooth overall surfaces, with deeper olive-brown in the protected portions of the fields. An outstanding collector-grade example.
