1867 1C MS65 Red PCGS
<B>1867 1C MS65 Red PCGS.</B></I> The 1867 is a lower-mintage date (9.821 million coins), as the Mint put most of its resources into the production of the new nickel five cent piece. Still, these cents were minted in a high enough quantity that they did not initially attract collector interest. Today, Mint State examples of this date are very rare in full red (Richard Snow, 2006).<BR> The Red Gem in this lot displays copper-gold luster and occasional splashes of deeper orange. A well executed strike translates into sharp definition on the design elements, including clarity on all four diamonds. A few light flecks on each side might help to preclude an even higher grade. Housed in a green-label holder. 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.
