1863 Cent, MS67
Single Finest at PCGS

1863 1C MS67 PCGS. The Civil War led to hoarding on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. In the North, gold and silver coins left commerce during 1862. Not long after, even the bronze Indian cent was hoarded. The U.S. Mint responded by increasing cent production, to nearly 50 million pieces in 1863. Today, examples are plentiful in most Mint State grades, but only the present lot has been certified by PCGS as MS67, with none finer. The lustrous rose-gold surfaces are fully struck and exhibit pristine fields. Contact is limited to a trio of hair-thin lines on the portrait. A major opportunity for the competitive Registry Set numismatist. Population: 1 in 67, 0 finer (11/20).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 227J, PCGS# 2067, Greysheet# 1294)
