Book Reference
Weight: 3.11 grams. Composition: .950 copper, .050 tin and zinc.Diameter: 19 mm. Edge: Plain. Mints: Philadelphia, San Francisco.
Key to Collecting: Today, examples for type-set purposes are readily available in all grades. Despite the common nature of even gem Mint State coins, high-quality examples are in the minority. Certain dates and mintmarks are elusive. Most often encountered are dates from 1879 through 1909. Lustrous brown or red-and-brown coins offer exceptional value as most investors are urged to buy only “red” coins, accordingly raising the prices for those. However, among pieces certified as mint red, relatively few, including those in such ranges as MS-65 to MS-67, are completely without spots or flecks. Many have been recolored. Although gem cents of this type seem easy enough to find, it will pay you to seek out high quality.
Aspects of Striking and Appearance: Vary widely, but generally quite good. Points to look for include sharp feather, ribbon, wreath, and shield details.
Proof Coins: Plentiful as a type. Gems without flecks or spots can be hard to find, but as few buyers seem to care, you will have the advantage of being an educated buyer and will be able to find one for little added premium. Choice brown and red and brown coins offer good values in my opinion.
