Nearly Perfect PR68 Red and Brown 1885 Cent

1885 1C PR68 Red and Brown PCGS. The technical preservation of this coin is truly impressive. There are no noticeable contact marks on either side and magnification is required to locate the tiny specks of carbon (look on the lower portion of the obverse, we don't see any flecks elsewhere). The mint luster is bright and rolls around each side undiminished in intensity. The centers display varying degrees of lime-green color while the margins are full mint red. An outstanding coin in terms of both technical preservation as well as visual appeal. Population: 2 in 68, 0 finer (9/04).(#2343) (Registry values: N2998)
