Lot Description

Incredible Gem 1867 Indian Cent Among the Finest Known 1867 Indian Cent. MS-65+ RD (PCGS). CAC. Gold Shield Holder. A dramatically lustrous example with vibrant golden-bronze coloration throughout. The strike is uniform across each side and complemented by smooth and untroubled surfaces. A very beautiful piece. The 1867 Indian Head cent is among the scarcer issues of the series, boasting a lower mintage of 9.8 million pieces. Examples are somewhat common up through AU condition but become elusive in Mint State. The current piece is among the finest examples known, tied with just two others at the present grade and ranking behind only one coin in MS-66 Red on the PCGS Population Report. For collectors and PCGS Registry Set participants assembling the finest set of Indian Head cents, this is an incredibly important opportunity. PCGS Population: 3; just 1 finer in MS-66 RD. PCGS# 2090. NGC ID: 227R. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
