1909-S Indian Cent. MS-65 RD (PCGS).Lovely light orange surfaces also exhibit wisps of pale pinkish-rose here and there around the borders. Satin to softly frosted in texture, both sides are expectably smooth for the assigned grade. Also free of streaks in the planchet that are evident on many early date San Francisco Mint cents, this smartly impressed and carefully preserved Gem will please the most discerning Indian cent enthusiast. One of the prominent key dates in the series, the 1909-S experienced a mintage of just 309,000 coins, the lowest production tally among circulation strike Indian cents. The presses in San Francisco struck Indian cents early in the year and then switched to the new Lincoln cent style later in the calendar year. Eagerly sought at all levels of preservation, especially with the quality and eye appeal offered here.
