Cereal wreath reverse with six-pointed star above ONE CENT, 1868 below. Struck in nickel with a reeded edge. One of the finest, and one of only two CAMEOs Sharply struck devices have a bold frosty look that contrast brilliantly against the clean, deep, awesome mirrors. A few minor ticks in the planchet are noted and do not detract from the eye appeal. VERY RARE and while the design is only lightly different than the regular issue, the differences make this pattern issue unique and more elegant. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1.
