Description
Finest Known 1896 Indian Cent, MS68 Red
1896 1C MS68 Red NGC. This gorgeous Indian cent is fully brilliant with amazing deep orange mint color and frosty luster. Tiny fly specks can almost literally be "counted on one hand" with few visible on either side. The design elements are mostly full with faint clash marks visible in the left obverse field.The present specimen is the only 1896 Indian cent that either PCGS or NGC has certified in MS68 Red. A review of the population data shows the following Indian cents in MS68 or MS68 Red: 1861 PCGS; 1899 PCGS (2); 1896 NGC (the present coin); 1899 NGC; and 1902 NGC. For the entire series from 1859 to 1909, this piece is one of just six coins that have received so fine a grade, with none finer.(Registry values: N10218)
