1899 Cent, MS67+ Red
Exceptional Eye Appeal

1899 1C MS67+ Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender. Anyone who thinks these coins are not conditionally rare has simply not been paying attention. The widespread Registry Set phenomenon has brought some mighty strong prices, and still this MS67+ Red 1899 Indian cent is one of only nine such pieces certified at PCGS, with two finer (12/22). Few could rival the original mint red radiance of this coin. Cartwheel mint luster emanates from each side, but the surfaces are nonreflective, with a fine-grained mattelike texture featuring deep red-orange and almond hues. The eye appeal is stunning and the strike is impeccable.
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2012), lot 3621, where it sold for $20,562.50.
