Lovely MS66 1860 Cent

1860 1C MS66 PCGS. Commonly called the Type Two Obverse, as the bust is on this hub type is broader than its predecessor. This change and the deeper sinking of the central head of the Indian in the hub were undoubtedly done to improve the striking details of the coins. The surfaces of this Premium Gem have a pebbly finish and are highly lustrous. The copper-nickel alloy has taken on an attractive purplish patina on the obverse, while the reverse is a lovely reddish-brown. A carefully preserved marvel. Census: 37 in 66, 3 finer (11/10).
