<B>1867 1C MS65 Red PCGS.</B></I> The 1867 cent is scarce in all grades, regardless of color designation. As might be expected, Red and Brown and Brown specimens vastly outnumber full Red coins. Of the roughly 1,200 1867 pieces certified by PCGS and NGC to date, only 120 or so have been assigned the Red classification.<BR> Both sides of the Red Gem being offered in this lot are awash in radiant luster, and exhibit a vibrant orange-copper color. An impressive shrike yields sharp definition on the motifs, including all but two of the feather tips, all four diamonds, and the leaf ribbing on the wreath. Indeed, the only apparent softness occurs on some of the horizontal lines of the shield. There are no mentionable abrasions, just a few tiny flecks. Population: 18 in 65 Red, 1 finer (7/07).<I><BR>From The Santa Fe Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
