1909-S Indian Cent (1c)

Handsome, original XF with that warm cinnamon-brown skin we like, flashing subtle golden highlights and a whisper of remaining luster in the protected areas. Wear is even and balanced, the surfaces are refreshingly problem-free for the grade, and the reverse wreath retains excellent texture that boosts the eye appeal. Housed in a PCGS holder and blessed with a well-deserved green CAC sticker, this example nails the grade and then some - just a touch of honest friction is all that holds it back from AU territory.
