Lot Description

1889 Indian Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). Sharply struck with bountiful mint frost, this expertly produced and preserved also sports a full endowment of vivid rose-orange mint color. Far 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 Silver Springs Collection. PCGS Population: 17; just two finer (both MS-66+ RD). PCGS# 2174. NGC ID: 228H.
