1868 Indian Cent. MS-65 RD (PCGS).The splendid satin surfaces of this Indian cent exhibit blushes of pale rose on otherwise golden-orange luster. Fully struck even down to the tips of the feathers in Libertys headdress, this is an exceptionally well produced and preserved coin that is sure to attract strong bids. The 1868 is a lower mintage issue among circulation strike Indian cents with 10,266,500 coins struck. Many Mint State examples were destroyed during the recoinage of the 1870s, which saw the Mint redeem and melt large quantities of bronze cents dated 1864 to 1873. Among the survivors, problem free examples with superior technical quality and strong eye appeal are challenging to find, regardless of grade. This is one of the finest examples that we have handled in recent memory and will be just right for an advanced Indian cent set.PCGS Population: 47; 5 finer in this category (MS-66 RD finest).From the Beasley Collection.
