Losbeschreibung

1864 Indian Cent. Copper-Nickel. MS-66+ (PCGS). This exceptionally well preserved Gem exhibits dominant golden-tan patina over smooth, satiny surfaces. Speckles of reddish-russet are evident on both sides when viewed with the aid of a loupe, the reverse periphery splashed with more pronounced rose-apricot highlights. A transitional year in the Indian cent series, 1864 saw the production of coins in both copper-nickel and bronze, the latter with and without the designer's initial L on the obverse. The 1864 copper-nickel is a scarcer issue for its metallic composition, the mintage relatively limited at 13,740,000 coins. High quality Mint State survivors such as this are decidedly rare from a condition standpoint and represent a fleeting bidding opportunity for the specialist whenever they appear at auction.
