Heritage to Offer Finest Known 1909-S Indian Cent!

Dallas, Texas: Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers (HG&A) will offer the finest known 1909-S Indian Head Cent in their upcoming Signature auction, to be held December 12-14, 2005 in Dallas, Texas.

"Sharply struck and impeccably preserved, this lovely Superb Gem boasts shimmering surfaces that project dazzlingly bright luster and display beautiful light reddish-tan and mint-green coloration," said Greg Rohan, President of HG&A. "The slightly streaky toning produces a woodgrain effect, especially on the obverse, which serves to further enhance the already splendid eye appeal of the piece. A couple of faint carbon flecks are evident, on each side of the coin, but they are very small and consequently of little concern."

Rohan continued, "This marvelous key date example is the only 1909-S Indian cent to be certified as MS67 Red, by either of the major grading services, and, as such, deserves special attention from the specialist seeking to build a high grade Registry Set of this immensely popular series."
