Lot Description

1869/69 Indian Cent. Snow-3h, FS-301. Repunched Date. MS-65 RB (NGC). 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. 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. Provenance: From the Birdwatcher Type Set, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Nature Conservancy. PCGS# 37475. NGC ID: 227T. Click here for certification details from NGC.
