Description

1865 1C Fancy 5 MS66+ Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. Most full Red examples of the 1865 Indian cent seen represent the Fancy 5 logotype, with the curved flag on the 5 in the date. This is the first full year of bronze small cent production. The issue is plentiful overall, but high-end Red coins are scarce, and they are rare with CAC endorsement. This piece displays a sharp strike and satiny copper-gold and reddish luster, with no distracting spots or abrasions. Eye appeal is excellent. Population: 68 in 66 (4 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 0 finer (1/23).
Ex: Regency Auction 38 (Legend, 5/2020), lot 51.
