1897 Cent, Stunning MS66 Red

1897 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal, card included. This stunning Premium Gem Red 1897 Indian cent must appear virtually the same as it did 118 years ago. The reddish-gold surfaces show little mellowing amid the blazing luster on both sides. The strike is a trifle soft on the date and the lower headdress feathers, but the pristine preservation and excellent eye appeal put this coin near the top of its class. Population: 17 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red, 2 finer (3/15).
Ex: Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 3/2006); Joseph C. Thomas Collection / Central States Signature (Heritage, 3/2009), lot 1153.(Registry values: N1793)
