Lot Description

1864 Indian Cent. Copper-Nickel. MS-66 (NGC). A splendid example, both sides are smooth and satiny in texture with splashes of light orange patina to otherwise golden-tan surfaces. The final copper-nickel issue in the Indian cent series, the 1864 is also one of the most difficult to locate with sharp striking detail. Most Mint State survivors are softly defined from having been coined from worn dies. Expertly produced and uncommonly well preserved, this condition rarity Gem is sure to elicit strong bids from astute collectors. NGC Census: 18; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 2070. NGC ID: 227K.
