|
1869 PCGS Genuine, code 94.
|
|
Just about 3.5 diamonds suggest a decent though not full strike. The reverse passes as fully original, but the obverse seems to have been darkened for reasons unknown. UNC details in our opinion,... |

1869 NGC MS-64 BN.
|
|
Probably 20% red on the obverse and 50% red on the reverse, it's easy to think the color designation could be upgraded at some point, nor is there any lack of luster. Sharp flowline texture... |

1869/69 PCGS VF-20.
|
|
The curve of the underlying digit clearly rises above the "9", and also can be seen above the loop of the "6". Zero diamonds show on the band, but that is no surprise for VF-20, nor is the presence... |

1869 PCGS VF-20.
|
|
As always for these early dates in this grade, middle letters in LIBERTY are not quite complete, yet at least the top diamond shows boldly on the band below. This coin offers ideal chocolate-brown... |

1869 NGC PF-65 RB.
|
|
"RB" in the PF-65 RB grade denotes "red-brown" color, but can someone at NGC please point out exactly where the coin shows any brown? At first and second glance, the surfaces appear to exhibit fully... |

|
1869, 1879, and an 1880, all PF-63.
|
|
PF-63 is offered merely as a guideline, as it's often nearly impossible to predict which way a TPG will go with regard to color when certifying proof small-cents. 1869 has terrific brilliance but... |

1869 and 1872, both AU.
|
|
Everyone who collects the series knows that both 1869 and 1872 Indian head cents are very difficult to find "nice", especially in better grades. Corrosion and miserable surfaces plague most examples,... |

|
1869/69 (FS-301) NGC MS-64 RB.
|
|
Repunching is most visible on the "9" in the date, and leads to the FS-301 attribution. Red and brown patina mixes in about equal proportions for both sides, with the reverse probably leaning closer... |

|
1869 PCGS MS-62BN.
|
|
Luster is startlingly brisk for the MS-62 grade, and while the obverse is only faintly tinged with copper-gold accents, the reverse actually appears to still be about a third mint-red. Excellent... |

1869 MS-60.
|
|
Here is an 1869 Indian head cent that is fascinating on a couple of levels. From the standpoint of die character, an extensive die crack on the reverse suggests a virtually shattered die, as it... |

1869 ICG XF-45.
|
|
1869 is a semi-key known for the extent to which examples have been ravaged by environmental problems, with this ICG XF-45 providing a wonderful exception to that trend. Indeed, attractive... |
