Description
NGC 1860 MS 65. Struck From Proof Dies. While certified as a business strike, this coin was struck from the Type One proof dies of the hub style of 1860-64. As such, it shows the last A in AMERICA partially filled on the obverse, and there is a faint, diagonal die line above the M in AMERICA. On the reverse there are a few diagonal die lines in the shield. These are all diagnostics for the proofs of 1860, and Richard Snow makes the comments, "Few of the survivors show full mirrored fields...Possibly as few as 50 pieces remain."
This piece is shallowly mirrored with crisp striking details throughout. The surfaces have a lovely pinkish overtone to the light tan patina seen over both sides. Just a few tiny specks of carbon are noted.
