1886 Indian Cent. Type I Obverse. MS-65 RD (PCGS). Gold Shield Holder.Beautiful rose-red surfaces are fully lustrous, sharply struck, and expertly preserved. According to Flying Eagle and Indian cent expert Rick Snow (2014), the 1886 Type I Obverse is particularly challenging to locate in full Red Mint State grades since most examples were struck on lighter-colored planchets that were highly susceptible to toning. This is a remarkably vivid, wholly original Gem that is sure to catch the eye of astute collectors.PCGS Population: 23; 6 finer in this category (MS-66+ RD finest).From the Beasley Collection.
