Gem 1860 Pointed Bust Cent, PCGS Graded

1860 1C Pointed Bust MS65 PCGS. The 1860 Pointed Bust is the missing link between the one-year 1859 type and the Shield Reverse. All 1859 Cents have a Pointed Bust, while the Rounded Bust constitutes the sizable majority of 1860 Cents. Apparently, a few undated obverse dies were left over from 1859 and put into use after the types of 1860 were introduced. This exquisitely struck and satiny honey-gold Gem is splendidly preserved. Clash marks from the headdress (as made) outline the inner right half of the wreath. Population: 20 in 65, 5 finer (8/04).(#2056) (Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 2056, GSID# 1290)
