Lot Description

1869 Indian Cent. MS-66 RB (PCGS). This handsome and fully original piece exhibits blended iridescent rose-brown toning and warm medium orange mint color. Highly lustrous and frosty with a razor sharp strike. One of the more challenging early date bronze cents to locate in high grades, the 1869 is more elusive than the 1866, 1867 and 1868. This is a superior quality survivor from a mintage of 6,420,000 circulation strikes. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 34; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 2095.
