Lot 213		1875 Indian Head Cent. NGC graded Proof 63 Brown. This is the "recut 5" noted as Breen-1992, and called "rare" as such.

Lot 224		1879 Indian Head Cent. NGC graded MS-66 Red and Brown. The date is obviously recut on the 1 and the 9 in the date, both of which are recut low. Full blazing red color on both sides, with few signs of mellowing. This is tied with 20 others as the finest graded by NGC in the Red Brown category, making it quite an important offering for the advanced Indian cent specialist, with just 2 seen in full Red in this grade.
