Lot 977
1886 Indian Head Cent. Variety 2. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. This coin is fully struck and early die state, which means the details are super sharp. There are hardly any marks at all and the eye appeal is outstanding. The color is closer to brown than red but the evenness of the tone adds considerably to its beauty. The 1886 is overall, a tougher date, but the Type 2 has been found to be much scarcer than the Type 1.
The 1886 Type 2 is redesign by Charles Barber. The main difference is a slight narrowing of the width of the portrait. The last feather now points between the CA in AMERICA. The extra outlines found on earlier issues are no longer present from this date forward. Pop 14; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 92155) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
Ex : The "Chiro" Collection. Eagle Eye Photo Seal accompanies this lot.
