1878 1C, RD MS (PCGS#2132)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1878 Indian Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). Both sides of this exceptionally well preserved 1878 cent retain full mint color in blended orange-apricot and pinkish-rose. The texture is frosty, the strike is sharp to full and the surfaces are very nice for the assigned grade. Continuing a trend begun in 1876, the Mint reissued an unusually large number of earlier-dated bronze cents in 1878, resulting in limited need for new coins. In fact, the 8,242,500 cents reissued in 1878 is second only to the 9,821,500 coins reissued in 1877. New coinage amounted to just 5,797,500 circulation strikes in 1878, and survivors are scarce to rare in all but the lowest circulated grades. This is one of the finest certified examples, and it is sure to sell for a strong premium. PCGS Population: 15; 4 finer in this category (MS-67 RD finest). PCGS# 2132. NGC ID: 2285.
