Stunning Superb Gem 1899 Indian Cent

1899 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Singularly attractive, by virtue of swirling luster and exquisite sea-green and copper coloration, this Superb Gem example is also impeccably preserved and virtually pristine. The design details are sharply struck throughout, even on the frequently stubborn feather tips of Liberty's headdress. Few Indian cents from any issue can boast the lofty technical merit or the stunning visual appeal of this remarkable coin. In fact, each of the major grading services has certified a mere seven pieces as MS67 Red, making this example one of an elite group of just 14 full Red Superb Gems. PCGS has also seen two coins graded at MS68 Red, while NGC has graded just one piece at that superior level, as of (6/08).
