Description
1908-S 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. The Eliasberg catalog notes that 1908-S cents were struck on silver presses. The hardness of bronze compared to silver might help explain why this issue is usually found softly struck. That being said, Mr. Eliasberg held out for a sharp one. This piece displays one of the strongest strikes we can remember on this issue. Otherwise, the surfaces display muted red and brown patina, and there are no mentionable flaws.Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 657.(Registry values: N1793)
