1885 1C, RD MS (PCGS#2153)

August 2021 ANA U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1885 Indian Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). An exceptionally vivid piece with splashes of powder blue and reddish-rose iridescence to otherwise fire-orange surfaces. With a full strike, intense satin luster and virtually pristine surfaces, this is easily one of the nicest examples of the issue that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction. The difficulty that the Mint encountered in acquiring planchets for cent production in 1884 became acute in 1885, the latter year seeing the delivery of just 11,761,594 circulation strikes. The 1885 has the lowest mintage among circulation strike Indian cents from 1879 through 1907, and it has long been recognized as a semi-key date by specialists. This is a rare and remarkably attractive MS-66 RD that is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a top flight Indian cent collection. Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection. PCGS Population: 20; 7 finer (all MS-66+ RD). PCGS# 2153. NGC ID: 228C. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
