1874 1C MS66 RD PCGS CAC

This 1874 Indian Head Cent, graded PCGS MS66 RD CAC, has an estimated survival of only 225 examples in full Red (RD) designation. It stands as a superb GEM specimen, with a CAC population of just 5 and none graded finer. Although the original mintage was 14 million, only a small fraction remain in such outstanding condition. This coin boasts an exceptionally sharp strike, capturing every design detail with remarkable clarity. The coloration displays a rich, uniform deep orange with reddish-apricot hues atop smooth, satiny surfaces. The coin’s surfaces are completely free of any spots, specks, or imperfections. Even in lower Mint State grades, this date is scarce among bronze Indian Head Cents, and specimens with this vibrant color are highly prized by collectors. This exceptional coin will undoubtedly attract strong interest, particularly from PCGS Registry Set collectors. A 66 RD with CAC last sold in 2019 for $18,000.
