Lot Description

1869/69 Indian Cent. Snow-3g, FS-301. Repunched Date. MS-65 RB (PCGS). This is a gorgeous Gem awash in a blend of original autumn orange color and light golden-brown patina. Sharply struck throughout with a smooth satin texture that is just a few wispy carbon flecks away from an even higher numeric grade. The popular 1869 Snow-3 variety was once thought to be an overdate, but has since been reclassified as a repunched date. It retains both its listing in the Guide Book(as 1869, 9 Over 9) and its popularity with series specialists, the present example with superior technical quality that is sure to result in strong bidder competition. PCGS Population (Snow-3 attribution only): 16; 4 finer in this category (MS-66 RB finest). PCGS# 37475. NGC ID: 227T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
