Description

Astonishing 1902 Indian Cent, MS68 Red
The Finest Certified Example

1902 1C MS68 Red NGC. Both sides of this incredibly vibrant orange-gold example are ablaze with satiny luster, and totally void of unsightly blemishes. Although slight weakness is noted at the tips of the Indian's feathers--typical for the issue--this example possesses an above average strike as evinced by the bold shield details and complete dentilation. This is as close to a perfect Indian cent as one is likely to find. As of (3/09), NGC has certified only one 1902 cent at the MS68 Red level, with--unsurprisingly--none finer. More astonishing is the fact that both services combined have only certified five coins at this lofty grade in the entire series (1864-1909). Certainly a fleeting opportunity to purchase one of the very finest examples of this popular issue.
Ex: The Rarities Sale (Bowers and Merena, 8/1998), lot 44 where it realized $5,060; Central States Signature Sale (Heritage, 5/2005), lot 5234 where it realized $10,350.
