Magnificent 1907 Indian Cent, MS67 Red,
Tied For Finest-Graded

1907 1C MS67 Red PCGS. More than 108 million Indian cents were delivered by the U.S. Mint in 1907, a record number for any coinage issue up to that time. Surprisingly, however, a mere five examples from all of those millions have been graded as full Red Superb Gems by NGC and PCGS combined, as of (6/08), with none certified any finer at either company. The current offering, displayed in an older-style PCGS holder with a light green label, is simply a splendid coin. The design elements are crisply reproduced, with just a whisper of incompleteness noted on the upper three feather tips of Liberty's headdress; and the mint-red color is sublime. Close examination of the coin's surfaces, under low magnification, fails to reveal any imperfection other than a handful of tiny specks on the reverse, and a barely discernible scrape, in the upper left obverse field, that is far too superficial to limit the grade of this marvelous specimen. Unquestionably an important piece, and obviously one of the finest-known, this coin will attract special attention from specialists seeking to acquire the highest quality in a business strike 1907 Indian cent.
