A superior quality and thoroughly appealing example of this key date issue. Free of the isolated softness of detail that is often noted in extant 1872 cents, both sides are sharply, if not fully defined from the rims to the centers. Vibrant and satiny in texture, we note only light glossy brown toning to dominant pinkish-orange luster. A lower mintage (4,042,000 circulation strikes) Indian cent that is scarce to rare in all grades, the 1872 is particularly elusive at the finer Mint State levels with appreciable mint luster remaining, as here.，PCGS# 2104.
