Description

1909-S 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Amazingly enough, the original mintage of the final year 1909-S Indian cent was less than 40 percent than that of the key date 1877 issue (which had a production of 852,500 business strikes). Even so, the 1877 Indian cent remains scarcer, presumably because more of the '09-S coins were saved by coin dealers and/or collectors. This is a remarkably well preserved Gem with lovely tan-gold coloration and shimmering luster. The design elements are boldly struck and there are no distracting marks on either side.
