1909 Indian Cent, MS67+ Red
Tied for Finest Known, CAC Approved

1909 1C MS67+ Red PCGS. CAC. The year 1909 was transitional for the small cent design, encompassing the introduction of Brenner's Lincoln and wheat ears design and the retirement of Longacre's long-running Indian Head and oak wreath. Although more than 14.3 million 1909 Indian cents were struck, this is a slightly better date in the series, as most dates had mintages several times that quantity. Surviving examples of the 1909 are somewhat plentiful, although they become conditionally rare at the lofty Superb Gem Red grade level, where the current coin resides. This piece displays satiny mint luster bathed in vivid copper-orange and golden hues, without distracting spots or abrasions. An above-average strike completes the eye appeal and adds to the coin's strong merits as a Registry coin. Population: 20 in 67 (4 in 67+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 5 in 67, 0 finer (1/25).(Registry values: N2998)
