Only beaten by the 1877 and 1909-S in low mintage numbers as this Indian Cent had just over 1.1 million produced in 1908 San Francisco. Scarcity begins in the AU range and continues through Mint State. Brown coins are accessible with increasing value by grade and color. Red gems are incredibly desirable and rare.
