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: A near semi-key date in the Indian Cent Series in which very few have been saved, explains the scarcity of the 1874. Most of the surviving examples are known in circulated grades.
