1909-S Indian Cent. MS-65 RD (PCGS). A captivating Gem example of this scarce transitional issue. Overall golden-tan in color with hints of patina near the obverse borders. Uniformly satiny with smooth surfaces and strong cartwheel luster. 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.
