<B>1867 1C MS65 Red PCGS.</B></I> The 1867 cent presents a significant challenge across Mint State 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 are graded as Red.<BR> Both sides of the Red Gem offered here are awash in radiant luster that enlivens the vibrant orange-copper surfaces. An impressive strike 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. Carefully preserved and delightful. Population: 19 in 65 Red, 1 finer (10/07).<BR><I>From The Santa Fe Collection, Part Two.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
