1873 'Open 3" and 1875 Indian Head cents, PCGS MS-64 RB. 1873 'Open 3" and 1875 Indian Head cents, PCGS MS-64 RB.
Lot Title: 1873 'Open 3" and 1875 Indian Head cents, PCGS MS-64 RB.
Description: Virtually a fully brown reverse is paired with a 50% red obverse for the 1873, and it delivers about 90% of the diamond detail on the ribbon. At hand's length, the obverse appears to be an easy "gem", though closer inspection reveals several flyspecks over a very clean cheek. The 1875 is 80% bright red (orange-tan, really), and the strike is very plain. This coin has a fingerprint on the left lower quadrant of the reverse, and very little carbon to speak of. Two coin lot.
Low Estimate: $550.00
High Estimate: $650.00

1873 NGC MS-64 RB CAC.
Probably 80% red overall, no fault can be found with the lovely mint appearance as it mingles light ash-brown patina with glowing ember-orange color. There just is not a single contact mark to be...

1873 and 1908, PCGS PF-64RB (green label) CAC.
Encapsulation in green-label PCGS holders affirms that the surface color has remained stable for this pair of Indian head cents for many years, and they are identically certified as grading PF-64 RB. ...
462The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$425.00
1873 "open 3" PCGS MS-64RB.
That PCGS can sometimes grade small-cents very conservatively is not in question, and this seems to be a textbook case of an undergraded coin. By every measure, including delightful mint luster,...
463The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$750.00
1873 "Closed 3" and 1883 PF-65RB.
Identically graded PF-65 RB, both the Indian cents in this lot are spectacular gems. The 1873 "closed 3" is graded by PCGS and has clearer surface quality, but the 1883 graded by NGC has nicer color...
