The 1902 Indian Cent is a common issue in the Indian Cent Series that would make a fantastic type coin because of its high mintage, accessibility and affordability. Circulated coins are extremely common and accessible. Partial or complete red coloring in gem condition is a must for uncirculated coins to be scarce and valuable.
