Description

1859 MS 64. Delicate, pinkish colorations dance about the lustrous surfaces on both sides of this coin. Close examination reveals some microscopic carbon flecks on both sides, but these are tiny indeed and do not detract from the overall appearance. The reverse shows some rim crumbling, but this may also represent crushing of the upset rim when the coin was struck. A nice example of the first year of the very popular Indian Head cent series.
