1870 Indian Cent, MS65+ Red
Low-Mintage, Underrated Issue

1870 1C MS65+ Red PCGS. Bold N. Although more than 5 million pieces were struck, the 1870 Indian cent had just a moderate mintage -- most of which was returned promptly to the Mint for melting. Gem Red coins are scarce and finer examples flirt with extreme rarity, given the large number collectors vying for the few high-end coins that survive. This Plus-graded example displays vibrant-orange surfaces and sparse blue overtones. A few pinpoint carbons do not distract. The strike lacks sharpness only at the top three feather tips.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227U, PCGS# 2099, Greysheet# 1319)
