Lot 1221
1866 Indian Head Cent. MS-65 Red. A blazing red example that has just a hint of toning starting to form on the surfaces. Boldly struck from very worn dies, with the reeding quite flat on the obverse rims. A scarce date as the mints settled back into more normal times, now that the Civil War was finally over. An impressive and enticing example of this date, free of spots or problems.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
From the Howard R. Newcomb collection of Indian Cents, purchased June 30, 1944 from J.G. Macallister.
