1897 Indian Cent (1c) Laidacker Collection

Full mint red with a fiery orange-copper glow, this 1897 Indian cent looks like it left the dies last week. The strike is sharp - with crisp feathering, a bold shield, and well defined wreath - and the satiny luster spins freely across both sides. Surfaces are wonderfully clean for the grade. The + grade and green CAC sticker back up the premium look, and the coin is housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder. Superb eye appeal on a fully red Gem Indian, from the Laidacker collection.
