- 1909-S Indian Cent. MS-64 RB (PCGS).
A predominantly golden-orange cent with light toning in iridescent brown on both sides. The strike is superior by the standards of this challenging issue, and surface preservation is at the uppermost reaches of Choice Mint State quality.
The second mintmarked cent in U.S. coinage, the 1909-S has the lowest mintage in the Indian series with 309,000 pieces produced. These coins were struck in January and February of that year, after which production was halted as the San Francisco Mint prepared to receive the first of the new Lincoln cent dies from Philadelphia. With contemporary numismatic and other interest focused on the new cent design, and especially the controversy surrounding the designer's initials V.D.B., the 1909-S Indian cent was largely overlooked by speculators. Even so, enough Mint State examples were set aside to meet current demand in lower grades. We are pleased to offer this premium quality MS-64 that will have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced cabinet.
Provenance: From the Abernathy Collection.
PCGS# 2239. NGC ID: 2298.
