This 1882 Indian Head Small Cent is a scarce and attractive Mint State Fifty Brown example certified and encapsulated by CAC Grading. This is a fully graded CACG holder coin and not a stickered piece giving collectors added assurance of strict grading standards and premium quality.

Although designated Brown the coin still shows strong detail throughout Liberty portrait and the reverse wreath with remaining mint sharpness that places it in the lower Mint State range rather than About Uncirculated. The surfaces are original with honest color and pleasing eye appeal that many collectors prefer for early copper coinage.

Indian Head cents are a cornerstone of nineteenth century United States coin collecting and remain popular for both type and date sets. A certified Mint State example offers strong long term collectibility and value.
