Description
1908-S 1C MS65 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. The San Francisco facility was the first branch mint to coin the cent denomination, beginning production in November 1908, and striking a little more than 1.1 million pieces before the end of the year. Mint State survivors are not definably rare, though they are heavily pursued by Indian cent specialists. This Gem example displays nearly full red luster, with just a few faint burgundy overtones on the reverse. Well-struck motifs complete the overall appeal.Ex: Eric P.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
