1909-S Indian Cent, MS66 Red, Unsurpassed at NGC

1909-S 1C MS66 Red NGC. The second and final year of Indian cent mintage in San Francisco saw the creation of one of the low mintage dates in the series. Saved in some quantity and relatively available for a price in lower grades and lesser color designations, the 1909-S Indian cent is highly prized in upper echelon grades with full red color. At the MS66 level of the present coin, it is decidedly rare, and it is almost unheard of finer.
This coin boasts a rich, bright bronze color, virtually uniform about its surfaces except for a shade of darker color near the first S in STATES. The strike is strong, yet not quite full, with a bit of weakness showing at the tips of the feathers. The few evident surface markings are unobtrusive, and do not impact this coin's more than ample eye appeal. Census: 5 in 66, 0 finer (7/07).
