1909-S Indian Cent. MS-64 RD (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. Fully lustrous with satiny surfaces displaying a rich honey-gold, orange, and tan patina over each side. The strike is impeccable on the reverse with razor sharp detail, the obverse shows just a bit of softness on several of the feathers. One of the prominent key dates in the Indian cent series, this date experienced a mintage of just 309,000 pieces, the lowest production tally of any date in the series. 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.
