1878 PCGS MS-64 RD. 1878 PCGS MS-64 RD.
Lot Title: 1878 PCGS MS-64 RD.
Description: Extensive die polish lines suggests that fresh dies take at least partial credit for the pleasing strike that yielded excellent feather detail, and nearly all four diamonds. This coin is notable for how exceptionally red and original the color is overall, particularly on the obverse. Generally minor carbon spots bespeckle that same side, with the most prominent speck residing just left of the Indian maiden's chin, but no fault at all can be found with the MS-64 grade assigned this fully mint red cent.
Low Estimate: $750.00
High Estimate: $900.00

1878 NGC PF-65 RB.

1878 NGC MS-65 RB (no line).

473The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$475.00
1878 PCGS PF-64RB.
