Lot Description

1876 Indian Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). Light to pale rose colors flow over smooth, satiny surfaces on both sides of this sharp and inviting upper end Gem. The Mint redeemed 5,932,723 bronze cents in 1876, reissuing 5,599,500 examples to meet much of the commercial demand that year. As a result, only 7,944,000 new coins were produced from 1876-dated dies, this being one of the lower mintage circulation strike issues of its era. A Condition Census survivor, the present example is an undeniable highlight of the Indian cent offerings in this sale, and it would serve as a focal point in any specialized set. Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection. PCGS Population: 12; 4 finer in this category (MS-67 RD finest). PCGS# 2126. NGC ID: 2283. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
