Lot Description

1889 Indian Cent. MS-65 RD (NGC). Warm rose-red luster is seen on both sides of this fully lustrous, boldly to sharply struck Gem. It is more appealing than most full Red 1889 Indian cents on today's market, that can be a lighter color due to planchets with a slightly higher proportion of tin and zinc in the bronze alloy. Mintage: 48,866,025 circulation strikes. Provenance: From the Beasley Collection. NGC Census: 33; with a single MS-66 RD finer in this category. PCGS# 2174. NGC ID: 228H.
