Indian Cent
1909-S Indian Cent. MS-65+ RB (PCGS). CAC.
Golden-orange color in the fields is accented by hints of chocolate-bronze shades across the high points. Scattered traces of dark patina attest to the originality of this piece. Incredibly lustrous with matte-like texture across both sides. The second mintmarked cent in U.S. coinage history, the 1909-S boasts the lowest mintage in the Indian series with a mere 309,000 pieces produced. These coins were struck in January and February of that year, after which production was halted as the San Francisco Mint prepared to receive the first of the new Lincoln cent dies from Philadelphia. With only 9 examples certified finer by PCGS, this premium quality MS-65+ RB represents exceptional value for the astute collector.
