Description

1897 Indian Cent, MS66+ Red
Exceptional Preservation of Surfaces

1897 1C MS66+ Red NGC. With the 1897 cent production once again rose to more than 50 million pieces. This should indicate it is a common date, but it is not as frequently encountered as the post-1900 dates. This is a full red example with no mellowing in color. The strike is strong, the only area of weakness seen on a couple of horizontal shield stripes on the reverse. Exceptional preservation. Census: 10 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red, 1 finer (3/21).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 228S, PCGS# 2198, Greysheet# 1412)

Weight: 3.11 grams

Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & Zinc
