1888/7 Cent, Choice VF
Famous Overdate, Snow-1, FS-301

1888/7 1C Snow-1, FS-301, VF35 NGC. This is hands-down the most famous and sought-after variety in the widely collected Indian Head cent series.

This mid-grade representative is evenly circulated with golden-brown fields and steel accents over the high points. Reddish-purple color appears at the right obverse. Faint remnants of the underlying 7 are clear, and the diagnostic rim break above TE in UNITED is evident. Smooth and minimally marked with a single, slender pinscratch left of the 1 in the date. Census: 1 in 35, 7 finer (1/20).
