Description
1860 Broad Bust Cent, MS66
Seldom Seen Finer
1860 1C Broad Bust MS66 PCGS. CAC. This beautiful, softly
glowing orange-red example of this first-year issue displays a
sharp strike on carbon-free surfaces. The upper wreath on the
reverse shows tinges of saffron.Variety: Broad Bust or Rounded Bust.
Population Data (7/14): PCGS shows 43 MS66 (including two MS66+) with nine MS67. NGC reports 35 MS66 and none finer. CAC shows nine Broad Bust in MS66 and one finer.
Heritage Commentary: Don Taxay noted the difference in the Pointed Bust and Broad Bust 1860 cent varieties in 1971, but it was not until Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia popularized them in the late 1980s that collectors actively began seeking pieces. The Broad Bust comprises perhaps 95% of the total 1860 cent coinage versus 5% for the Pointed Bust coins, but examples in the higher Mint State grades are scarce.(Registry values: N1793)
