1889 Indian Cent, Pristine MS66 Red
Tied for Finest at PCGS and CAC

1889 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Perfection 1. This Premium Gem Red 1889 Indian cent is among only eight such submitted to PCGS, which has never certified a finer example of the issue. Most survivors of the 1889 show woodgrain toning that precludes a Red designation, or else they lack the pristine preservation required for an MS66 grade. This immaculate coin is blond-tan on both sides, well within the Red designation and showing top-notch eye appeal. This piece would make a fantastic representative for a top-flight type set. CAC has given its green approval sticker to only three coins in this top grade (1/16).
