<B>1873 1C Doubled LIBERTY MS64 Red and Brown PCGS.</B></I> Snow-1. According to Bowers, "This is the boldest doubled die in the series. ... These are highly sought after. ... Mint State examples are very rare and as such, very expensive. Most are dark red-brown or brown. Presently only one full red example is known. Only about 20 other Mint State examples exist. Most are well struck." All features of the Indian are strongly doubled, including LIBERTY, the eyes, nose, headband border, the feather stems, and ES of STATES. This glorious specimen boasts flashy, mostly red surfaces with tinges of magenta, blue, and iridescent green on the obverse highpoints, but still appearing about 75% Red. Visible carbon is nonexistent, and this is simply a gorgeous coin with no visible impairments, save for a single small tick below N(T) on the reverse. Expect the bidding to be fierce for this coin that Snow and many others call "The King of the Indian Cents." Population: 8 in 64 Red and Brown, 2 finer (7/07).<I><BR>From The Santa Fe Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
