详细说明

This medium rose beauty is originally and attractively preserved. Smartly impressed, as well, and sure to please even the most discerning Indian cent enthusiast. Continuing a trend begun in 1876, the Mint reissued an unusually large number of earlier-dated bronze cents in 1878, resulting in limited need for new coins. In fact, the 8,242,500 cents reissued in 1878 is second only to the 9,821,500 coins reissued in 1877. New coinage amounted to just 5,797,500 circulation strikes in 1878, and survivors are scarce to rare in all but the lowest circulated grades. This is one of the finer certified examples, and it is sure to sell for a strong premium.
