General Notes: The lowest mintage of the 1890's Indian Cents. The 1894 is scarce, for the decade, but just about average for the entire series. Circulated coins are extremely common and accessible. In order for uncirculated coins to be scarce and valuable there must be some, if not total, red coloring. The finest gems can be rare.
