1866/1866 Rays Nickel, MS65
FS-302, Widely Repunched Date
Sole Finest at PCGS

1866/1866 5C Rays, Repunched Date, FS-302, MS65 PCGS. CAC. All four date digits are heavily repunched west with the initial punch right of the primary punch. They Cherrypickers' Guide notes that this variety can be picked in lower grades. However, examples are clearly rare in high grades. PCGS reports merely 16 submissions in all, and only four of them are Mint State: one MS63, two in MS64, and this top-graded Gem. Faint glints of golden color accompany beautifully preserved nickel-gray surfaces. Vibrant luster rolls over each side. Strong detail appears on the shield and olive leaves. The reverse stars are a bit soft, and extensive die cracks run through the legend on that side. Population: 1 in 65, 0 finer (7/22).
