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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Indian 1C 1872 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.
Indian 1C 1875 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.

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.

$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.

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.

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.

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.

MS64RB NGC
6472143005
Choice $150 Noteworthy Eye Appeal, Granular Frosted Luster, Bright Light Reds. Another attractive Indian cent from the "top of the ladder" portion of a long term clients collection.
