Sharply Struck 1894 Cent, MS66 Red

1894 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh Collection. While the business strike mintage of the 1894 (16.7 million pieces) was lower than other dates from the 1890s, high grade examples were apparently set aside in the same numbers as other dates from this decade, as it is no scarcer in Uncirculated condition. However, sharply struck Mint State coins, such as the current Premium Gem, are elusive. The feather tips, while incompletely defined on this piece, exhibit much better detail than ordinarily seen. Bright golden-orange coloration displays a dash of cherry-red on the cheek, and the reverse has a pronounced olive tint. A few light toning flecks are undisturbing. Population: 23 in 66 Red, 0 finer (3/09).
