Heritage Auctions, Auction 1314, Lot 3059 Indian Cents 1870 1C Shallow N, FS-901, MS66 Red PCGS. In 1870, the Bold N reverse subtype was introduced, but the obsolete Shallow N dies and hubs remained in use for a few additional years, through the 1877 business issue. Even for the 1870, the Shallow N variety is scarcer than its Bold N alternative. The Shallow N feature is undesignated on...

Heritage Auctions, Auction 1314, Lot 3061 Indian Cents 1874 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Mintage of small cents was on the rise in 1874, emerging from the repercussions of the Mint Act of 1871, which saw millions of cents recalled and melted. Still, approximately 4 million 1874 cents were struck from redeemed cents -- nearly 30% of the total 1874 mintage of 14,187,900 pieces. This is a lustrous a...

Heritage Auctions, Auction 1314, Lot 3062 Indian Cents 1877 1C MS63 Red and Brown NGC. Snow-1. All Indian cent collectors know that the 1877 is the key business variety of the series. Since prices for the date rise relatively slowly with advancing grades, and circulated 1877 cents are often disappointing, many numismatists save for a nice Uncirculated example. The present lot will sati...
