1872 PCGS VF-30.
|
|
1872 obviously falls within the "murder's row" for Indian cents of the 1870s, where even VF examples prove elusive with pleasing surface qualities. Marvelous, smooth chocolate-brown patina commands... |

1872 Shallow N (Snow-10b) NGC AU-55 BN.
|
|
The "Shallow N" reverse has received sufficient notoriety to make an appearance in the Redbook, with popularity of the subtype possibly explained by that die's usage on the famed 1877 key (the final... |

1872 PCGS VF-30.

1872 PCGS VF-35.

1872 NGC MS-62 BN.
|

Better than most 1872 cents, this example offers decent planchet quality and a sharper-than-average strike for the date, with almost all four diamonds struck up. On the reverse, mint red delicate... |

1872 NGC MS-64 BN.
|
|
Without doubt, Indian cents from 1869 through 1877 are the "murder's row" of the series, with 1872 smack-dab in the middle of all of it. While so many examples come to the market with problems, this... |

1872 PCGS VF-30.
|
|
A trivial layer of oil (Blue Ribbon, perhaps) brings out glossy highlights and promotes the eye-appeal of this 1872 semi-key. Everyone knows that the cents of the early 1870s are quite difficult to... |

1872 MS-60.

While some underlying red may be seen on the obverse, that side is dominated by olive-brown color, while the reverse is about half red. Some question as to the source of the obverse toning leads to... |

1872 F.

1872 is known to be much tougher to find with decent surfaces, and this example surpasses expectations in that regard. LIBERTY is just readable enough to qualify for an F grade, but three small... |

1872 PCGS AU-55.

1872 Indian Head cent, PCGS MS-64 RB

1872 NGC VF-30 BN.

“BER” is typically only partially defined for the grade, but the color and surface quality are excellent for an issue that always seems to be ugly. A touch of woodgrain effect shows up under some... |

1872 NCS Unc Details, Altered Color.
|
|
An example that has an MS-64 look to it with ample luster. It looks more flashy Red than Brown, but NGC deemed the color to be altered. Most would say that it could have gone either way. |

1872 PCGS AU-58.

1872 MS-62 RB.

A reddish brown aspect bedecks this semi-key's rather smooth surfaces. A random number of insignificant contact marks are mostly subdued by this impressive hue. Strong detailing is observed for this... |
