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 ANACS F-12.
|
|
Small ANACS holder. LIBERTY is as readable as it gets, with the first and last letters readily visible, while the BER shows softness on about the top half of each letter. Several contact marks show... |

|
1872 PCGS VF-30.
|
|
Portions of two diamonds show clearly, and more importantly LIBERTY may be easily and clearly read on the headband since every letter is present and fully formed. A couple of ancient pinscratches... |

|
1872 PCGS VF-35.
|
|
Extremely original with perfect chocolate-brown patina accented here and there by deeper walnut tone. LIBERTY seems a bit indistinct within the final few letters, but such striking deficiency is... |

|
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 PCGS MS-64RB.

1872 PCGS PF-64RD.

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
|
|
Despite the conservative "RB" designation supplied by PCGS, about 80% of the original mint red color has been retained by this key-date cent over the past 135 years. A good strike has imparted nearly... |

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 PCGS XF-45.

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.

This semi-key date is embellished with a handsome mahogany color that permeates its glossy smooth surfaces. The meager tick or two discerned are hardly worth mentioning. The relative soft design... |

1872 MS-62 RB.
|
|
A few light marks in the fields on the obverse are the only thing holding this coin back from loftier grades. It has pleasing color, a great strike, and rolling luster. |

1872 PCGS XF-45.
|
|
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... |

1872 NGC MS-65 RB.
