Lot Description

1888/7 Indian Cent. Snow-1, FS-301 (FS-010). VF-30 (PCGS). CAC. <td />Originally patinated surfaces combine a reddish-brown obverse with a bolder deep-copper reverse. There are no singularly distracting blemishes, and ample boldness of detail remains. "The #1 cherrypick among Indian Head cents," (per Fivaz and Stanton, 2009), the 1888/7 is highly elusive in all grades.
