Description

1859 1C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. The 1859 Indian cent is a one-year type coin with the Laurel Wreath reverse. Although more than 36 million pieces were struck, high-end Mint State survivors are scarce. This Plus-designated Premium Gem is notably rare and tied for the finest at PCGS, and it is among the finest with CAC approval; a single NGC coin is reported finer (11/22). Sharp motifs complement satiny luster with a hint of reflectivity in the fields. Original sun-gold, violet, and blue-green hues in the fields complement overall tan-gold patina. Population: 64 in 66 (11 in 66+), 0 finer. CAC: 17 in 66, 0 finer (11/22).
