1893 Indian Cent, MS66 Red
Fiery Orange Luster

1893 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. This boldly detailed 1893 Indian cent exhibits fiery orange mint luster and a tinge of peripheral gold on each side. A few scattered carbon flecks are only visible with a strong magnifier. A highly appealing Premium Gem.

Population Data (3/15): PCGS reports 27 in MS66 Red (one MS66+ Red) and one MS67 Red finer. One of only four MS66 Red with the CAC green approval label. For most collectors, the present example would be an exceptional addition to a high-grade set.

Heritage Commentary: More than 46 million 1893 Indian cents were struck, yet only 32 examples at PCGS in all color designations are graded higher than MS65. The opportunity to buy an MS66 or MS67 coin should not be passed up.

Provenance: Purchased from Bill Nagle (5/5/2009).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 228M, PCGS# 2186, Greysheet# 1397)
