Description
Elusive MS66 Pointed Bust 1860 Cent
1860 1C Pointed Bust MS66 PCGS. The Pointed Bust design had been in use on patterns since 1858, but was replaced from business strikes early in 1860, possibly to increase die life. The variety is quite scarce with an estimated mintage of only half a million out of the more than 20 million coins produced in 1860. Snow states that most of the Uncirculated specimens that are known come from a hoard of 25 to 50 pieces. This is a fully struck example that has butter-yellow and apricot surfaces. The obverse appears perfect and we only see two tiny marks on the reverse, a couple of faint lines across the crossbar of the N in ONE. Population: 5 in 66, 1 finer (3/09).Ex: Colburn Collection (Heritage, 4/2003), lot 5135, which realized $15,525.
