1899 Indian Cent (1c) Laidacker Collection

An unbelievably well-preserved red Indian, exactly as it left the dies over a century ago - this superb gem cent glows with rich golden-copper color that is completely even across both sides. The strike is needle-sharp, with every feather tip, diamond, and wreath leaf fully brought up, and the satiny surfaces are immaculate under a glass. Simply an outstanding piece, and the green CAC sticker confirms it. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder, this is a wonder coin in every sense, from the Laidacker collection.
