Lot Description

1908-S Indian Cent. MS-65 RD (NGC). Lovely golden-orange surfaces exhibit vivid, even color that is free of the streakiness that is often seen on early date San Francisco Mint cents. It is very nice for the assigned grade with a bold strike and strong visual appeal. The perennially popular 1908-S is the first mintmarked cent in U.S. coinage history. It is also a semi-key date issue in the Indian series with a mintage of 1,115,000 pieces. Provenance: From the Beasley Collection. NGC Census: 84; 26 finer in this category (MS-66+ RD finest). PCGS# 2234. NGC ID: 2296. Click here for certification details from NGC.
