Breathtaking 1899 Indian Cent Virtual Perfection in PCGS MS-67+ RD 1899 Indian Cent. MS-67+ RD (PCGS). This awe-inspiring Superb Gem borders on pristine. The surfaces are silky smooth in appearance with a delightful frosty texture to the finish. Mint color is full and vivid in a lovely blend of rose and orange colors. Fully struck, as well, and equally outstanding from both technical and aesthetic standpoints. A popular issue for type purposes, the 1899 inaugurates a run of high mintage circulation strike cents from the Philadelphia Mint that would continue through the end of the Indian series in 1909. Survivors from a mintage of 53,598,000 pieces are plentiful in virtually all Mint State grades, Rick Snow (2014) even asserting that, "Apparently, a few more uncirculated rolls were found of this date that any other date in the series with the exception of the final year, 1909." We stress the term "virtually all," however, for near the apex of the numismatic grading scale the 1899 emerges as a phenomenal condition rarity. This is one of the most exceptional examples known to PCGS, and also the highest graded circulation strike 1899 Indian cent that we can ever recall offering. Solidly in the Condition Census, this is a beautiful coin that will delight the most discerning numismatists, be they type collectors or Indian cent enthusiasts.
