Lot Description

1868 Indian Cent. MS-66 RB (PCGS). A lovely Gem, both sides exhibit dominant mint orange color with cobalt-brown patina primarily isolated to the Indian's portrait to confirm the RB designation from PCGS. Boldly to sharply struck throughout and exceptionally well preserved for this scarce, conditionally challenging early date bronze Indian cent issue. From a mintage of 10,266,500 circulation strikes, many of which were redeemed and melted by the United States Mint during the early 1870s. A find for the quality conscious Indian cent enthusiast. PCGS# 2092. NGC ID: 227S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
