1894/1894 1C Doubled Date, RD MS (PCGS#92189)

August 2018 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Philadelphia, PA

Description du lot: 1894/1894 Indian Cent. Snow-1, FS-301. Doubled Date. MS-65 RD (PCGS). Exceptional technical quality and eye appeal for this eagerly sought Indian cent variety. Both sides ate bathed in handsome deep rose color, the reverse with somewhat lighter pink and gold highlights evident as the coin dips into a light. Smooth, satiny and sharply struck, the Repunched Date feature is discernible with the unaided eye, although boldest when observed with the aid of a loupe. In the vast array of Indian cent varieties the 1894 Doubled Date stands tall as this is one of the most visually dramatic in the series. Furthermore, the date 1894 in itself is scarce, with a lower relative mintage of 16,749,500 circulation strikes. In Mint State condition this variety is a prized rarity, and with any degree of Red such a coin is that much more desirable. To find an MS-65 RD of the 1894 Doubled Date is simply amazing. Provenance: From the Anne Kate Collection. PCGS Population: 10; 3 finer in this category (MS-66 RD finest). PCGS# 92189. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
