Description
Blazing 1908-S Indian Head Cent, MS65 Red
1908-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. The 1908-S Indian Head cent is an important issue, as it was the first time minor coinage was produced at the San Francisco Mint. The introduction of sales tax and more complex economic activities resulting from better communication with the eastern part of the country made the small denomination necessary for the local economy. The mintage of 1.1 million pieces was the third smallest of the series. Few coins were saved at the time of issue, and Mint State specimens are quite scarce today.The present coin is a beautifully preserved Gem with lovely, even reddish-tan coloration across both sides. The surfaces are lustrous and impressively pristine, without a single noticeable mark or blemish on either side. The present offering is an important opportunity for the Indian Head specialist.
