Jaw-Dropping Strike and Condition Rarity 1890 Cent Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS 1890 Indian Cent. MS-66+ RD (PCGS). CAC. A simply outstanding example of both the type and issue that will please even the most discerning numismatist. Both sides of this beautiful Gem are bathed in a delightful blend of softly frosted luster and warm rose-red color. Sharply struck and expertly preserved, this undeniably original coin is worthy of the strongest bids. With 57,180,114 coins produced, the 1890 boasts the highest mintage among pre-1900 circulation strike issues in the Indian cent series. Although this is one of the most popular U.S. coin series in today's hobby, at the time of delivery the 1890 was considered a workhorse issue intended for circulation. And circulate this issue did, for the typical survivor in numismatic hands is a well worn coin. Even so, a fair number of Mint State examples have also come down to the present day, although most do not show much evidence of having been handled with particular care by earlier generations of collectors. When we further consider that few circulation strike 1890 cents are sharply to fully defined throughout, the awesome rarity of this expertly produced and exceptionally well preserved Gem should be obvious to all bidders.
