Lot Description

1869/69 Indian Cent. Snow-3, FS-301. Repunched Date. MS-65 RB (NGC). Exquisite Gem surfaces are fully struck with virtually complete, orange-rose luster in a soft, satiny texture. An extremely popular variety that commands strong premiums in all grades. It is characterized by clear repunching at the 69 in the date. No more than 2,000 examples are thought to exist in all grades, and Mint State examples are rare. NGC has certified just 82 examples of the variety, although it's possible that additional pieces have been encapsulated without any reference to the Fivaz-Stanton designation. Walter Breen in his Complete Encyclopedia noted that he himself discovered the variety circa 1953. Provenance: From the Michael Mann Type Collection. NGC Census: 22; 11 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 37475. NGC ID: 227T. Click here for certification details from NGC.
