1895 Indian Cent, MS66+ Red
Fiery Orange Luster

1895 1C MS66+ Red PCGS Secure. CAC. By 1895, a mintage of 38 million coins for the year was a nominal event, unremarkable in every way. Most of the cents struck, of course, show far more wear than this piece, one of the few finest survivors. Note that even it shows some die fatigue in the form of small bumps and voids and flow lines in the fields, visible only with magnification.

Deep reddish surfaces boast superior eye appeal and uniformly high quality on this Premium Gem Red 1895 Indian cent. The strike is equally impressive, showing four bold diamonds on the ribbon. A curious, extremely thin toning arc runs through the right-side obverse, scarcely visible without a glass and affecting neither the grade nor the eye appeal. (CAC obviously was not put off by it, either.) Population: 46 in 66 (4 in 66+) Red, 4 finer (12/14).(Registry values: N1793)
