Losbeschreibung: Intriguing 1897 Snow-1 Misplaced Date Indian Cent 1 in Neck 1897 Indian Cent. FS-401. Misplaced Date, 1 in Neck. MS-64 RB (PCGS). Eagle Eye Photos Seal. A fully original example with warm lilac-brown patina intermingled with original rose-orange color. Boldly to sharply struck throughout, both sides also sport a softly frosted texture that is nearly smooth enough to qualify for a full Gem rating. The final produced of the five most popular varieties in the Indian cent series, the 1897 Snow-1 Misplaced Date is readily identifiable by the base of an errant 1 sticking prominently out of Liberty's neck just above the necklace. Although the circulation strike 1897 is a plentiful issue in Mint State, few such coins have been located for this particular variety. With full Red examples all but unknown, this attractive MS-64 RB represents a particularly significant for the quality-conscious collector. High condition census. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population: 10; 2 finer in this category (both MS-65 RB). PCGS# 37598. NGC ID: 228S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
