1902 Indian Cent, MS67+ Red
Exceptional Preservation of Surfaces

1902 1C MS67+ Red PCGS. CAC. This is the kind of coin that offers simply mind-boggling quality in a copper piece that is 108+ years old. The surfaces are completely unmellowed and free of carbon or patina. The coloration is a uniform, original, bright golden-orange. In addition to its excellent manufacture, the subsequent preservation is just as extraordinary, so no visible signs of contact appear on either side. The only flaw, a nitpicking one at that, is the lack of a complete strike on the tips of some of the headdress feathers. The high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. Any numismatist who doubts the rarity should check the online PCGS Population Report for the number of surviving MS67 Red Indian cents--regardless of date. Population: 21 in 67 (5 in 67+) Red, 2 finer. CAC: 4 in 67, 0 finer (11/25).
