Fully original surfaces exhibit a blend of vivid reddish-orange luster and original gray-brown iridescence, the reverse a bit more vivid overall. Both sides are equally smooth with a bold strike from the rims to the centers.This curious Indian cent variety features the base of an errant numeral 1 protruding from the neck of Miss Liberty just above the pearls in her necklace. The discovery of this variety is attributed to dealer Jack Beyer according to the Snow reference, where the following is noted: "It was assumed early on that this variety would be found in high grades due to the general availability of this date. It is very surprising that only a few Mint State examples have come to light and none in Gem full red condition." A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win Coin
