1865 1C Fancy 5, RB MS (PCGS#2083)

December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1865 Indian Cent. Fancy 5. MS-66 RB (NGC). CAC. This wonderfully original example features a blend of deep mint orange color and iridescent glossy-brown patina. The surfaces are frosty and smooth and the strike is razor sharp throughout the design. This second year bronze Indian cent issue has a mintage of 35,429,286 circulation strikes, a generous total that suggests that there was still a great need for new cents to rectify the coinage shortage that began early in the Civil War. As an issue the 1865 is readily obtainable in Mint State, although with the quality and eye appeal offered here it is a condition rarity. As one of the finest examples known to both NGC and CAC, in fact, this lovely coin is sure to find its way into another impressive Indian cent set. Rick Snow (2014) estimates that 20 million of the circulation strike 1865 cents produced are of the Fancy 5 variety. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 18; with a single MS-67 RB finer in this category. CAC Population: 9; 0. PCGS# 2083. NGC ID: 227N. Click here for certification details from NGC.
