Description
1897 Indian Cent, MS67 Red
Tied for Finest Certified
1897 1C MS67 Red PCGS. CAC. FS-402, Snow-8. Indian cent
production topped 50 million coins in 1897, making the issue one of
the most plentiful overall. Still, Gem-quality full Red
representatives are elusive, and Superb Gems are undeniably rare;
this is one of just four MS67 Red examples certified by PCGS and
NGC combined (two at each service), with none finer (6/14). Vibrant
coppery-orange mint frost enlivens seemingly perfect surfaces,
while swirling hues of cherry-red and peach color accent portions
of each side. The design elements are well-defined and there are no
signs of even minor carbon spotting. Obvious repunching on the 8 in
the date, inside the top of the lower loop, and on the 9 below the
lower curve, identifies this elusive variety, of which this is
possibly the finest-known example. This coin represents an
important opportunity not only for the Registry Set collector, but
also the advanced Indian cent variety enthusiast.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 228S, PCGS# 2198, Greysheet# 1412)
