Description

1887 Cent, PR67 Brown
Beautifully Patinated

1887 1C PR67 Brown NGC. The rose-red portrait accompanies an olive-gold field and a broad aquamarine margin. The reverse has an arc of orange-red along the right border, separated from a larger deep ocean-blue area by a narrow band of plum-mauve. In A Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Cents, Rick Snow notes that "many 1887 cents are found with pale tan-golden planchets. Many others have toned to brown, sometimes with vivid iridescent blue toning, which is worth a significant premium." Housed in a prior generation holder. Census: 4 in 67 Brown, none finer (11/14).
