The 1874 Indian Head Cent in MS64 Brown (BN) condition, graded by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), represents a significant find for collectors due to its rarity in such high grade and preservation:
-
Design: This coin features James B. Longacre's design with Lady Liberty adorned in a Native American headdress on the obverse, and an oak wreath on the reverse, encapsulating the era's aesthetic and symbolism.
-
Condition (MS64 BN):
-
MS64 (Mint State): This grade indicates the coin has never been in circulation. At MS64, it will show full mint luster but may have a few contact marks or minor detractions visible upon close inspection. The coin would be considered in excellent condition with only minor imperfections.
-
BN (Brown): The brown designation means the coin has developed a patina over time. While not as prized as red or red-brown examples due to toning, a high-grade brown coin still holds substantial value because of its condition and the fact that it's preserved its mint state.
-
-
Rarity: The 1874 Indian Head Cent is not among the rarest dates in the series, but finding one in MS64 BN is quite an achievement. The Mint State condition for any coin from this era, especially one this old, is rare due to historical circulation practices and the natural degradation of copper.
