Lot 2496
1886 Indian Head Cent. Variety 1. PCGS graded MS-65 Red PQ. Snow 6. Includes Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Well struck with nice Mint Red colors. Among the finest graded. In 1886 Charles Barber altered the original master die for the Indian Cent. Barber’s new master revealed a few slight design differences. On Type One cents the last feather of the Indian's headdress points between the I and C in AMERICA, while on the Type Two variety the last feather is slightly lower and points between the C and A. Of course, full Red examples of the Type 1 are especially scarce and desirable. Pop 22; 2 finer in 66 (PCGS # 2156) .
Estimated Value $4,200 - 4,400.
