Full mint-red color blankets this 1897 Indian cent, glowing a warm brick red. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are remarkably clean for a nearly 130-year-old copper coin, with a lively frosty sheen and no meaningful distractions to the eye. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder with a green CAC sticker, this red gem delivers outstanding eye appeal. From the Laidacker collection.
