Description du lot

Intense pinkish-rose and pale lilac iridescence further enlivens deep red color on both sides of this eye-catching condition rarity. Fully struck with superior technical quality and abundant eye appeal. The mintage of 23,257,800 coins for the circulation strike 1884 Indian cent represents a slight reduction from the totals achieved during the 1880 to 1883 era, something that Rick Snow (2014) attributes to the Mint's difficulty in procuring planchets that year. While enough Mint State coins are extant to meet demand from less discerning collectors, the conditionally challenging nature of the 1884 comes readily to the fore at and above the MS-65 RD grade level. This is an exceptionally well preserved and attractive Superb Gem that would do justice to an advanced Indian cent collection, especially one competing for high ranking on the PCGS Set Registry.
