1883 Misplaced Date One Cent MS BN FS-302, S-7 Values
Details
The 1883 Indian Cent is a common issue in the Indian Cent Series. Circulated coins are extremely common and accessible. In order for uncirculated coins to be scarce and valuable there must be partial or complete red coloring. The finest gems can be very rare. The issue comes with flashy luster and original red coloring. But collectors, beware of spotting.
