1889 Indian Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS). This lovely Gem exhibits a blend of smooth satin luster and vivid rose-orange color on both sides. Virtually pristine in terms of preservation, with a bold to sharp strike that provides further appeal. Due to a relatively low mintage of 37,489,832 pieces, the 1888 is the scarcest circulation strike Indian cent of the 1887 to 1889 era. Few Mint State survivors could rival this example, and just 2 have been certified finer by PCGS.
