The 1908 Indian Head Cent in MS64 Red-Brown (RB) condition, graded by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), represents a fascinating piece of numismatic history:


  • Design: This coin features James B. Longacre's classic design, with Lady Liberty wearing a Native American headdress on the obverse and an oak wreath on the reverse. By 1908, the Indian Head Cent was nearing the end of its run before being replaced by the Lincoln Cent in 1909.
  • Condition (MS64 RB):
    • MS64 (Mint State): This grade means the coin has never seen circulation. At MS64, it would exhibit full mint luster, with only minor contact marks or other slight impairments visible upon close inspection.
    • RB (Red-Brown): This designation indicates that the coin has both red (indicative of the coin's original copper color) and brown patina, suggesting partial toning over time. Red-Brown coins are often valued more than fully brown coins due to the preservation of the original copper color.
  • Rarity: While not one of the rarest dates in the Indian Head series, finding one in MS64 condition, particularly with an RB designation, is notable. The Indian Head Cent series saw significant production in 1908, but high-grade, lightly toned specimens like this are scarce due to the natural toning process of copper coins over time.
