Lot Description

This lovely Gem exhibits a blend of billowy luster and warm medium rose mint color on both sides. Virtually pristine in terms of preservation, with a sharp to full strike that provides further appeal. Due to a relatively low mintage of 48,866,025 pieces, the 1889 is a scarce circulation strike Indian cent of the era. Few Mint State survivors could rival or surpass this example.
