- 1880 Indian Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS).
A truly awe-inspiring coin, this is a conditionally scarce example of both the type and issue that will please even the most discerning numismatist. Beautiful deep rose color throughout, the surfaces are sharply struck with intense mint luster. Commercial demand for circulating cents was clearly up in 1880, the Mint redeeming 3,626,501 earlier dated examples, reissuing 3,342,000 coins, and striking a generous 38,961,000 new pieces from 1880-dated dies. This is a plentiful issue in an absolute sense, Rick Snow (2014) describing it as "one of the easiest dates to find in high grades in the 1880's, probably due to the chance survival of a few more rolls that other dates." Yet even so, the spectacular MS-66 RD offered here has few peers among PCGS-certified examples.
Provenance: From the BSC Indians Collection, the current 7th Finest on the PCGS Set Registry.
PCGS Population: 29; 7 finer in this category (MS-67 RD finest).
PCGS# 2138. NGC ID: 2287.
