Lot Description

1870 Indian Cent. Bold N. MS-64 RD (NGC). CAC. An uncommonly vivid circulation strike cent of this date, both sides retain lovely mint color in warm orange-rose. Smartly impressed with crisp definition throughout, a full endowment of bright satin luster further enhances the eye appeal. These are scarce to rare in all Mint State grades in the RD category, most 1870 cents redeemed and melted by the Mint beginning in 1871. Coveted CAC approval is sure to result in serious bidder competition for this upper end near-Gem. Provenance: From the Roberta and William C. Willner Collection. NGC Census: 23; 9 finer in this category (MS-66 RD finest). CAC Population: 4; 13. PCGS# 2099. NGC ID: 227U. Click here for certification details from NGC.
