Indian Cents
1886 1C Type One MS65 Red PCGS. Ex: Richard. Final year for this hub, the design was altered the next year so the lowest feather in the headdress points between the C and A of AMERICA rather than between the I and C as it does on this earlier type. The Type One coins are the more plentiful of the two types, but that is a relative statement as only 23 Gems have been certified by PCGS with five finer (9/17). The surfaces on this piece have an even cherry-red coloration and the strike details are sharply defined throughout. A lovely, high-grade example of this pivotal year in the Indian cent series.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 4312; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 3211, where it brought $2,500.40.
