Lot 1122
1883 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. A really exciting variety with a bold misplaced digit (either an 8 or a 3) punched in the field above the denticles below the 83 in the date. Unknown to the numismatic community until 1995, this is a very rare and dramatic variety. Only a handful of examples have been found. This one is undoubtedly the finest known. This is fully struck with very early dies, probably one of first few struck. The details are knife sharp and the fields are prooflike with die striations indicative of a recently polished die. A real opportunity for the variety collector.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
