The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait. Reverse Description: The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center. General Notes: The 1873 Double Liberty is a very unique and scarce issue in the Indian Cent Series. Mostly all of the known examples are circulated pieces with the few Mint State coins being extremely scarce. The red color designation is so tough to find for this issue; and, the existing red coins are very rare.
