Description

1862 1C MS67 PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh. Booming luster, an unimprovable strike, and magnificent preservation are the hallmarks of this honey-gold Superb Gem. Interesting die cracks journey to the rim from the bust tip, and the wreath near 9 o'clock. 1862 was the final year that copper-nickel Indian cents circulated during the Civil War; they were subsequently hoarded or exported, along with gold and silver coins. The PCGS population stands at seven pieces in MS67, and there are none finer at either service (3/09).
