- 1887 Indian Cent. MS-65 RD (PCGS). OGH--First Generation.
Bright cherry-red surfaces support a sharp strike and a predominantly smooth satin texture. The typical full Red 1887 cent is a bit lighter in color than similarly preserved examples of other bronze issues in this series, a feature readily evident here. The exact source of the planchets used for much of this date's 45,223,523-piece circulation strike mintage is unknown, although Rick Snow (2014) opines that the supplier may have been Joseph Wharton, much of the metal coming from melted cents of earlier dates. While Mint State survivors of the 1887 are readily obtainable by Indian cent standards, few are as expertly preserved and aesthetically pleasing as this premium quality Gem.
PCGS Population: 66; 53 finer in this category (MS-67+ RD finest).
