<B>1887 1C PR67 Brown NGC.</B></I> The light rose-tan Indian portrait stands out beautifully against the bluish-gold fields, while the reverse displays a swath of bright reddish-gold at the right border that yields to a narrow strip of magenta and then to intense electric-blue coloration to the left. Sharply struck, with no mentionable marks. In <I>A Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Cents</B></I>, Rick Snow notes that "The mintage dipped slightly this year, but this does little to change the rarity rating compared to other dates in the 1880s. Many 1887 cents are found with pale tan-golden planchets. Many others have toned to brown, sometimes with vivid iridescent blue toning, which is worth a significant premium." Census: 4 in 67 Brown, 0 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The New York Eye Appeal Collection, Part Three.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
