- 1869 Indian Cent. Snow-3d, FS-301. Repunched Date. MS-65 RD (PCGS). OGH. Glorious deep orange surfaces are fully lustrous with a billowy satin to softly frosted texture from the dies. Sharply struck, carefully preserved, and a find for the advanced Indian cent enthusiast. One of the more challenging early date bronze Indian cents to locate in high grades, the 1869 is more elusive than the 1866, 1867 and 1868. This is an exceptional survivor from a mintage of 6,420,000 circulation strikes. Once believed to be an 1869/8 overdate, the variety now cataloged as Snow-3 is one of the most pronounced repunched dates in the Indian cent series. The obverse proved to be a workhorse die paired with at least eight different reverses. Although Snow-3 as a whole is obtainable with patience in most grades, Gems such as this are elusive, especially with considerable mint red luster remaining. The Snow-3, FS-301 attribution is not noted on the PCGS insert. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population (all varieties of the issue): 32; 7 finer in this category (MS-66+ RD finest). PCGS# 2096. NGC ID: 227T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
