Flying Eagle
	1857	MS63	PCGS 21392161		Choice	$1300	New May 7! Choice Original, Island Lake Collection.. A thick spray of copper patina blankets both sides, surrounded by nickel-silver color at the rims. The alloy for the Flying Eagle and early Indian cents contained 12% nickel, imparting lighter color to most examples. In 1864, the composition changed to 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, which remained the standard well into the 20th century. The present piece is a pleasing, lustrous example of the three-year Flying Eagle type. The CAC price guide is $1,260. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2003) holder with CAC approval.
	1857	AU58	ANACS OWH 2550096		Original	$450	Golden-Tan Presentation, Steely Luster, First Year Issue. I don't often see Flying Eagle cents housed in ANACS old white holders so having this example is a treat. Steely luster is immediately noted from tannish surfaces overland with golden shades. The golden toning is particular strong at the peripheries. A few reverse marks preclude a choice quality rating. A cool piece in an old time holder.
	1857	AU58	NGC 2589370008		Original	$395	Orange-Rose Shades, Near-Choice, Emerald Isle Collection. Consignor Buyout - Price Reduction. Light orange-rose toning nicely decorates this 1857 Flying Eagle cent during angled lighting review. Strike is soft on the tail feathers. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
	1858 Small Letters	AU55	PCGS 28852010		Choice	$395	New May 22! Small Letters, Olive-Brown, Super Obverse Strike. A complete obverse strike and natural brown surfaces are readily noted on this lovely 1858 Small Letters flying eagle cent. Eagle feathers are intricately detailed. A strong duplicate from an anonymous consignor that needs a new home. Fairly priced. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder.
Indian Head
	1862	MS63	PCGS 33096580		Choice	$450	New May 7! Choice Original, Island Lake Collection.. This copper-nickel piece reveals even golden color on the obverse, while rich maroon-plum patina covers the reverse wreath. Hard surfaces are smooth for the grade and the eye appeal is wholesome. The Indian cent portrait is iconic within American culture, and, with over a billion examples struck between 1859 and 1909, it is safe to say that this depiction is the most reproduced in history. The CAC price guide is $536. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1864 L on Ribbon	MS64RB	PCGS 21034429	S-6	Choice	$1150	Near-Gem, Newtown Collection. Sea-green, burnt orange, and navy patina liberally drapes the obverse of this With L Indian cent. The reverse exhibits mixed red and brown color throughout with russet shades around C(ENT). Fields are lightly mirrored with steely luster, and the overall flash easily penetrates the thick skin. Housed in a Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder with Eagle Eye Photo Seal approval and certificate card.
	1864 L on Ribbon	MS61BN	PCGS 44186380		Choice	HOLD $500	New May 30! L on Ribbon, Soft Luster, Well Struck, CAC Approval. A famous U.S. cent variety, the L on Ribbon results when James Longacre initial "L" was placed in the master hub for a small portion of the 1864 issue. This variety is considered to be quite scarce in Mint State. This new inventory addition features soft luster coupled with orange-brown coloration. Obverse strike is bold yet delicate and showcased against a steely frosted background. This is a solid piece that well please the buyer. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
	1864 Copper Nickel	MS64	NGC 2253197002		Choice	$765	Near-Gem Copper Nickel Type, Steely Reflective Luster, Complete Strike, CAC Approval. A fully struck and unabraded 1864 copper nickel Indian cent that would be ideal for a type set. Steely reflective luster from partially mirrored fields is revealed during bright light inspection. Totally wholesome and attractive. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert and the coverted CAC green bean approval.
	1868	MS63BN	PCGS 28517809		Choice	$535	Reddish-Brown Eye Appeal, Frosted Luster, Well Preserved, Port Matilda Collection. Price Reduction - Consignor Buyout. The 1868 Indian cent is scarce in all grade and consistent in availability with surrounding years. This Port Matilda Collection example is a near-gem with its steely-frosted luster and reddish-brown coloration. Bright light review exposes considerable luster on both sides. A premium example that would fit nicely in a CAC approved date set at a fair price. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.6 (2013-2014) holder with CAC approval.
	1871	MS65RB	NGC 193653004		Gem	$2850	Important Semi-Key Indian Date, Attractive Red-Brown, Gem Original, Osprey Collection. This new offering from the Osprey Collection is certainly important as true gem 1871 Indian cents are downright challenging! This example features medium brown surfaces with orange tinted luster under angled lighting. Both sides are completely struck and offer Gem quality that will appeal to the serial Indian cent collector. The CAC Red-Brown approved population is limited to only 27 pieces with 3 finer. A statistic that is worth noteworking during purchase evaluation. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
	1871 Bold N	AU58BN	NGC 4686770001		Choice	$785	Semi-Key Date, Thick Chocolate-Brown Skin, Well Struck, CAC Approval. A low mintage issue with suggestions that a portion of the mintage was melted during the mid to late 1870s. This semi-key date offering is superb for the grade and a near-gem. Surfaces are covered with a uniform chocolate-brown "skin". Fields are unabraded with some light verdigris surrounding the reverse motifs. I'm going with a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation given the overall eye appeal. Ideal for a very selective AU58 CAC collector. Housed in new NGC large font holder with CAC approval.
	1872	MS62BN	NGC 4712009002		Choice	$1150	Semi-Key Date, Low Mintage, Unquestionably Choice. A choice 1872 Indian BN cent that is a semi-key date in the series. Though the mintage amounted to a tad over four million, the date circulated widely less than 75 certified by PCGS in the individual BN Mint State grades. CAC populations are much lower with 53 pieces approved in all graded when considering the BN designation. This offered example contains a substantial amount of red coloration when subjected to a bright light. Frosted luster and moderate cartwheels are also eivdent. A choice example for an Indian cent date set without breaking the budget. Housed in new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1875	MS65RD	ANACS 152724		Gem	$1600	Gem Original, Blazing Red Cartwheel Luster, Blemish Free, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. A stunning 1875 Indian cent with blazing red-orange cartwheel luster. Mint frost is spread throughout the obverse and reverse dies and equally across main devices and fields. Pricing this 1875 cent in an old white ANACS holder is challenging as collectors wish to have the assurance of PCGS or NGC. Frankly, I believe this Indian cent will be scooped up at the next major show by a crack out dealer. Purchased nearly two decades ago and quietly off the market in a bank box. From the Sunset Point Collection of fine numismatic properties. Price to sell.
	1875	EF45	PCGS 37215855		Choice	$125	Important Date, Choice Crusty Surfaces, Natural Chocolate Brown. Very choice with natural surfaces including light verdigris. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder.
	1876	MS65RB	NGC 2046444008		Gem	$1550	Brilliant Copper-Orange Luster, Gem Original, Ex. Eric P Newman Collection 2014 Sale. Price Reduction. Following a spike in 1874 and 1875, Indian cent production declined again in 1876 to fewer than 8 million pieces due to reduced commerce demand. This production reduction culminated in the following year, in 1877, when fewer than 900,000 were coined. This gem example displays glowing coppery-orange luster amid faint hues of pale burgundy color. The strike is bold, and the preservation is excellent. Previously offered and housed in 2014 NGC Eric P. Newman brown label holder with CAC approval.
	1878	MS64BN	PCGS 29659715		Choice	HOLD $525	Steely Frosted Luster, Orange-Brown Bright Light Coloration, Port Matilda Collection. Price Reduction - Consignor Buyout. 1878 Indian cents are far from "common" but still attractive priced in the higher Mint State grades as mintage was a tad under six million. This Port Matilda offering brings a complete strike along with steely-frosted luster. Angled lighting exposes orange-gold coloration and pristine fields. If in the market for a top quality specimen, then please consider this example. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed as I'm notably impressed with this near-gem. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. Please note that the reverse holder plastic is worn below the denomination.
	1881	PR66RB	PCGS 31958037		Gem	$1750	Reflective Gem, Pristine Crisp Mirrors, Nearly Full Red. GFRC is not yet known for stocking gorgeous proof Indian cents. I get that. However, this new 1881 Proof 66RB is certainly a step in the right direction! Reflective luster explodes off the intense mirrored fields without a single visual distraction. Strike is deeply impressed and terribly pleasing. Hopefully, more proof Indian of this premium quality level will be coming to the price list shortly. In the meantime, this one is available for a new home. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 Dupont hologram holder with CAC approval. CAC population is 25 at the grade with only two finer. Seems that the offer priced at CAC CDN guide is more than fair in today's robust market.
	1892	MS63RB	NGC 1634590002		Gem	$170	Fiery Red Obverse, Frosted Luster, Nice Cartwheels. Yet another eye appealing Indian cent from the "top of the ladder" portion of a special client collection.

	1902	MS64RB	NGC 6472143004		Gem	$160	Brilliant Frosted Luster, Ample Reds, Swirling Cartwheels, Eye Appeal of Higher Grade. The last of the pretty Indian cents from the "top of the ladder" collection that warrants your promptly attention. Eye appeal is that of full gem though a single mark on the jaw precludes that certification. Brilliant frosted luster radiates from otherwise pristine surfaces with angled lighting. A perfect red-brown with excellent presentation. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1902	MS63BN	NGC 6208776009		Choice	$85	Reddish-Brown Coloration, Vibrant Cartwheels, Premium Eye Appeal at Grade. No junky Indian cents here as this 1902 offering is most pleasing. Reddish-brown coloration and frosted luster are readily apparent with angled lighting as are the active cartwheels. Strike is complete and surfaces are unabraded. A bit more luster brilliance would push this piece into a higher grade but the brown toning is a limitation. Overall a solid piece at a fair price. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1905	MS64RB	NGC 6472143005		Choice	$150	Noteworthy Eye Appeal, Granular Frosted Luster, Bright Light Reds.
