Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $375.00 Frosty, cartwheel lustre enlivens this coin's straw gold surfaces, with richer copper toning at the peripheries of both sides. Well struck and very attractive. The Pointed Bust represents only about 1 in 20 1860's, making this hub type decidedly scarcer than the much more commonly encountered Rounded Bust. PCGS MS63. 1580 1868 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $620.00 This bright red example displays a very sharp strike. The surfaces are virtually perfect and satiny lustre completely bathes the coin for a compelling look. A wonderful specimen that is sure to please even the most selective collector. 1581 1868 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $620.00 Silky red lustre cartwheels over the pristine surfaces for a stunning degree of eye appeal. A touch of weakness is found on the reverse at the shield but the coin is otherwise fully struck. 1582 1868 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $620.00 A bright red example with lustre that appears to leap from the surfaces. The strike is ample though there is some slight weakness particularly at the shield. An eye appealing specimen. 1583 1868 BU $240.00 About Uncirculated or better. A pleasing example with traces of mint red on the reverse; 1879 Brilliant Uncirculated, and nearly Choice. This lovely red and brown example is quite lustrous. 2 pieces. 1584 1869 EF to AU $280.00 Extremely Fine and close to About Uncirculated. Here is a lovely example with a deep olive patina and glossy hard surfaces. 1585 1870 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $600.00 - with claims to the Gem category. Delicately faded mint red color gives this coin a wonderful look. Silky mint lustre blankets the surfaces, adding to the magnificent appeal. 1586 1871 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $750.00 Satiny mint bloom dances over the surfaces of this pristine specimen. Bright red color adds to the magnificent eye appeal of this virtually unimprovable example. 1587 1871 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $800.00 This mint red example is bathed in silky mint bloom. Faint hints of an old fingerprint are the only reason this coin does not grade fully Gem. 1588 1872 CH AU $575.00 Choice About Uncirculated, on the cusp of a Mint State grade. Here is a glossy, lightly lustrous ruddy brown specimen that is a supremely appealing example of this oftentimes poor quality Indian Cent date. PCGS AU58. 1589 1877 EF $2,200.00 Extremely Fine. Outstanding chocolate brown color and smooth glossy surfaces give this coin a stellar look. A beautiful example of this ever popular key date coin. 1590 1880, 1883, 1894, 1902 Brilliant Uncirculated to Choice Brilliant Uncirculated BU to CH BU $215.00 An attractive quartet of coins that are mostly brown but each display a degree of mint red lustre. 4 pieces. 1591 1883 Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $310.00 - virtually a Gem example. The obverse of this very sharp specimen is mostly brown with some faded red highlights at the right periphery. A balanced blend of mellowed rose-red and brown immerses the reverse. The Proof output for this date totals 6,609 pieces. 1592 1893 Gem Brilliant Proof GEM BR PF $650.00 Blazing mint red color gives this little Indian a dramatic look. A needle-sharp strike as well as lightly frosted devices add to the majestic appeal of this pristine jewel. 1593 1902 Very Choice Brilliant Proof VERY CH BR PF $425.00 Richest original red surfaces highlight a diamond-sharp strike for this exceptionally appealing late-date Proof. 1594 1902 Double struck CH EF $950.00 Choice Extremely Fine, and a wonderfully wholesome specimen. Second strike is about 25% off-center at 12:00 and is die struck on both sides. Fortuitously, the second striking also includes a complete second date. There is a lovely shade of medium brown patina that immerses both the obverse and reverse. Page 1 of 1  •  First  Previous  Next  Last
