Description

Full Red Gem Type One 1886 Cent

1886 1C Type One PR65 Red PCGS. The Type One 1886 is far more frequently encountered than the Type Two, especially in high grades and with full red color. This is in spite of the fact that only 1,800 pieces of the nearly 4,300 piece production run of proofs were of the Type One variety. The surfaces on this piece are untampered and completely original with deep cherry-red color over almost all the obverse, while the reverse shows intermittent blue-lilac patina in the center of that side. Fully struck, pleasing, and problem-free--a coin that suggests an even higher grade. Population: 17 in 65, 11 finer (9/04).(#2347) (Registry values: N7079)
