1905 Choice Brilliant Proof. Brown
|
CH BR PF |
$50.00 |
Toned with mottled medium to dark brown throughout, and a few hairlines can be seen with a glass. No spots are present, although the toning may obscure any that might be present. |
|
188 |
1905 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$50.00 |
Some faded red remains on both sides with the usual light haze and tan over the devices. Clean surfaces from handling, but there are fragments of a fingerprint on the reverse, and minor specks on the obverse. |
|
189 |
1905 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$40.00 |
This one is mostly brown, but does have some original red in the fields. Free of all specks save for a minor one on the left side of the wreath, and pleasing for the grade. One tiny tick on Liberty's temple, and generally sharp. |
|
190 |
1905 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Brown
|
CH BU |
$25.00 |
Streaky toning over both sides with some lustre in the fields. An average strike and decent surfaces. No spots or carbon problems, but the streaky toning offsets this. |
|
191 |
1906 Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$160.00 |
Mostly red in color with a dash of violet and tan near the rims. Frosty and pleasing for the bright orange-gold color and clean surfaces. One tiny speck on the reverse. Mintage of Proofs fell to 1,725 in 1906. |
|
192 |
1906 Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Brown
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$110.00 |
This one has hazy brick red color mixed with green on both sides, and is more subdued than most others in this group. Still reflective in the fields and lacking all but a couple of tiny specks on the reverse. A scarce issue. |
|
193 |
1906 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$90.00 |
A lovely example of this later date with most of the original surface intact. Starting to tone with the usual light russet to tan streaks commonly found on copper. One tiny speck is noted on the right side of the obverse of this decently struck specimen. |
|
194 |
1906 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$30.00 |
This one has similar color and surfaces, with no spots readily apparent with a loupe, but the strike is slightly weaker on the feather tips of the headdress. The original red has started to fade in intensity, but the eye appeal remains strong. |
|
195 |
1907 Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Red
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$400.00 |
A beautiful coin that glows with reflectivity and boasts strong contrast and eye appeal. The fields are excellent, but examination will find three small nicks on Liberty's face, which nudge this one back from a higher grade, and a minute trace of carbon in the central reverse field. Proof mintage slipped to 1,475 pieces for the year. A delightful coin for the collector. |
|
196 |
1907 Choice Brilliant Proof. Red and Brown
|
CH BR PF |
$200.00 |
This coin has more subdued toning and haze than the previous example. Faint hairlines can be discerned with a strong loupe, but no spots or nicks are readily apparent. A desirable mid-range survivor from this modest Proof issue. |
|
197 |
1907 Choice Brilliant Proof. Red and Brown
|
CH BR PF |
$100.00 |
This one is a bit spotty but retains the desired flash in the fields and shows decent contrast with the frosted devices and lettering. Red in color with some haze and streaks settling in on the obverse. |
|
198 |
1907 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$30.00 |
An attractive regular mint issue that boasts pleasing faded red lustre throughout and a good strike on all but the ends of the feather tips. One tiny blue speck resides on the top of the third feather from the bottom, otherwise free of these common distractions. One of the most common dates in any grade aside from the Proofs issued. |
|
199 |
1907 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Brown
|
CH BU |
$25.00 |
Streaky gold and brassy toning on both sides, and not particularly attractive. An average strike, but lacking the spots so often found. |
|
200 |
1908 Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$450.00 |
Actually, this one is more red, with green and gold iridescent hues through the fields, particularly on the reverse. There are no spots or handling nicks worthy of note, and the toning is quite appealing for the collector who appreciates a little color on their copper. Proof Mintages bumped up a bit to 1,620 pieces. No doubt this one would be in the top quarter known both technically... more |
|
201 |
1908 Brilliant Proof. Brown
|
BR PF |
$100.00 |
Toned with reddish-brown throughout, with traces of lacquer on the reverse. No spotting problems or handling issues are present, but the coin lacks the eye appeal and contrast usually seen. |
|
202 |
1908 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$25.00 |
The obverse has the usual wood grain streaky gold and tan toning, similar on the reverse but brighter and more lustrous. A couple of trivial specks and evidence of a fingerprint, common ailments to most otherwise well preserved Indian Cents. |
|
203 |
1908 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
CH BU |
$25.00 |
This one is more brown than red, with the remaining reddish lustre peeking through from the fields. Specks of carbon are present, and there is a brassy streak on the lower reverse. Traces of lacquer are found on the obverse. Although somewhat dull, this is offset by the decent strike. |
|
204 |
1908'S' Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Red
|
GEM BU |
$1,100.00 |
A beautiful example of this popular San Francisco issue that boasts blazing bright red color throughout and no spots or traces of carbon. Rather well struck for this issue, with most of the definition present on the feather tips. Somehow this coin was never mishandled numismatically. If you demand first rate quality, then pursue this example for your prized collection of Indian Cents.... more |
|
205 |
1908'S' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red
|
VERY CH BU |
$500.00 |
Full blazing red as seen on the prior example, but this one has a few minute traces of carbon on the lower obverse. Fairly well struck and quite appealing for the date collector with most of the definition clear. This one lacks the spots or specks so often seen, and the surfaces are a delight to study. The mintage was a paltry 1,115,000 for circulation. |
|
206 |
1908'S' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$310.00 |
A touch of striking weakness on the feather tips, a common fault to this San Francisco issue, although the prior coins are sharper than seen here. The surfaces are clean and show no spots and just a trace of carbon. A more affordable example that retains most of the eye appeal of the prior coins. |
|
207 |
1908'S' Brilliant Uncirculated. Brown
|
BU |
$170.00 |
The surfaces have been cleaned with resulting hairlines, and the coin remains light brown with iridescent traces in the fields. A decent strike on the feather tips, and no spots or similar detractions are present. A coin to be examined, as this date is always in strong demand, and the faults are offset by these attributes. |
|
208 |
1909 Very Choice Brilliant Proof. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BR PF |
$160.00 |
A pleasing coin that boasts bright red on the obverse, while the reverse is toned down slightly with magenta and blue near the rims. The devices and lettering show more than the usual cameo contrast, which adds to the appeal. Some minor carbon flecks on the obverse located in the fields, with Liberty's face and neck free of these, as well as the entire reverse. This final year of issue saw... more |
|
209 |
1909 Choice Brilliant Proof. Red
|
CH BR PF |
$350.00 |
Slightly faded with the usual light reddish-yellow haze, but the mirror fields remain clean and bright when examined under a light. One carbon spot resides near the 'L' initial for Longacre. Another respectable example for the date collector. |
|
210 |
1909 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$45.00 |
Faded mint color throughout and well struck by the dies. There are traces of carbon within the fields on both sides, but no raised or detracting spots. A delightful coin for the collector who needs this date. |
|
211 |
1909 Brilliant Uncirculated. Brown
|
BU |
$40.00 |
This one is toned down particularly on the obverse with dark brown and some traces of red in the fields. The reverse has the usual wood grain pattern toning. Clean surfaces and a sharp strike add to the appeal. |
|
212 |
1909'S' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Red and Brown
|
VERY CH BU |
$600.00 |
This one is nearly full red, but has just enough fading to push it back a notch. Clean surfaces and free of carbon spots or fingerprints, with a blush of wood grain toning on the reverse. Examination will find some hidden ticks on the letters of ONE on the reverse, mentioned for identification purposes. Always in strong demand and scarce with a dismally low mintage of 309,000 pieces.... more |
|
213 |
1909'S' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Brown
|
CH BU |
$950.00 |
A lovely specimen of this key date with satiny brown lustre throughout and clean surfaces. One or two minute specks are present near the devices. Rather well struck, although not full, better than most seen. The glossy brown surfaces are appealing to the eye and for the collector any of the examples offered of this date would make a welcome addition to an Indian Cent collection. |
|
214 |
1909'S' Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$575.00 |
This coin was probably dipped in the past, and the dipping has resulted in the color being a bit orange-red but the surfaces lack the usual spots and there is only a small trace of carbon near the branch end on the reverse. Starting to tone back around the reverse periphery and a bit hazy. A decent strike for this date, and still reasonably appealing despite the long ago attempt at improvement. |
