Description
Very Scarce Pointed Bust 1860 Indian Cent, MS66
1860 1C Pointed Bust MS66 PCGS. The Pointed Bust design had been in use on patterns since 1858, but was changed early in the year, possibly to increase die life. Business strikes are 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 25-50 pieces. This is a fully struck example that has light lemony-yellow surfaces that show just a hint of red. The obverse appears immaculate and we only see two tiny marks on the reverse. Population: 3 in 66, 0 finer (1/03).From the Colburn Collection.
Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 2056, Greysheet# 1290)
