1908-S Indian Cent. MS-66 RD (NGC).
Splendid satin surfaces retain full mint color in warm orange-red. Nice for the assigned grade, with an impressively sharp strike. One of this cataloger's favorites, this was the first mintmarked cent in U.S. coinage history. Striking of the 1908-S began on November 27 of that year on presses that were normally used in the production of silver coins. With only a few weeks to go before year's end, the 1908-S turned out to be a low mintage issue with 1,115,000 pieces delivered. Survivors have always been popular with numismatists, especially when they display the quality and eye appeal offered here.
