1903 1C MS67 Star Red NGC
<B>1903 1C MS67 <img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"> Red NGC.</B></I> Superb color and overall surfaces with rich, original orange-red mint luster. Simply outstanding quality and a perfect coin for type purposes. Just a bit softly struck on the tip ends of the feathers of the Indian's headdress, as is typical for many dates. This was a high-mintage issue of over 85 million pieces, and circulated survivors are numerous. Mint State examples are relatively few, however, especially with full Red color. NGC and PCGS have certified a combined total of around 750 coins as such. This piece is one of the two finest known of those, as one of just 12 in MS67 Red (five at PCGS, seven at NGC). Most importantly, perhaps, this splendid cent has also garnered the coveted "<B><img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"></B></I>" designation from NGC, and is one of only two coins to be so honored. Not surprisingly, none have been graded any finer, as of (11/07).<BR><I>From The New York Eye Appeal Collection, Part Three.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
