1902 Indian Cent (1c) Laidacker Collection

Full blazing mint red on a 120-year-old Indian cent - this superb gem glows with rich copper-orange color and unbroken cartwheel luster on both sides. The strike is hammered, with every feather tip, diamond, and wreath detail fully brought up, and the fields are essentially immaculate under a loupe. Totally fresh and original, with no hint of mellowing or spotting anywhere on the surfaces. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder with a green CAC sticker, this example delivers outstanding eye appeal. From the Laidacker collection.
