      General Notes: The 1870 is a scarce date that begins a decade full of key date Indian Cents. Tough issue to find in all grades. Only truly scarce in Mint State, with a big jump in scarcity in gem condition. Gem examples of this date are hard to locate and the ones that are red are that much more rare and desirable.
