1859 Laurel Wreath Indian Cent, MS66
Tied for Finest at PCGS of This One-Year Type

1859 1C MS66 PCGS. The mintage of the 1859 Laurel Wreath Indian cent exceeds 36 million coins, although this issue's status as a one-year type earns it tremendous popularity and makes it scarcer on the market in high grade than it otherwise would be for its survivorship. The Premium Gem offered here is scarce, and each side displays remarkably sharp definition. A hint of reflectivity combines with cartwheel luster in the fields, boosting the vibrancy of rich golden-orange and rose toning on each side. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 36 in 66 (5 in 66+), 0 finer (3/19).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227E, PCGS# 2052, Greysheet# 1289)

Weight: 4.67 grams

Metal: 88% Copper, 12% Nickel
