Indian Cents
1888 1C MS67 Red PCGS. This is one of only two Superb Gem 1888 cents certified by either grading service. The PCGS Population Report documents the nearest contenders as 19 examples graded MS66 Red (including four MS66+). NGC shows only three coins in MS66 Red, with none designated finer (2/24). Each side on this MS67 example is perfectly balanced in color and overall appearance. The centers are light orange-red with tinges of jade; deeper red appears around the margins. The only mark worthy of note is a tiny planchet flaw in the right reverse field, inside the wreath. The strike is just a bit soft on the tips of the headdress feathers. Clash marks are lightly visible on the reverse.
Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 6/2008), lot 161; ANA Signature (Heritage, 7-8, 2008), lot 1535; The Joseph C. Thomas Collection / Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2009), lot 2087; ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2019), lot 3687; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2021), lot 3991.
