Description

1863 1C MS66 PCGS. Almost 50 million pieces were struck of the 1863, the largest mintage of business strikes of the series until nearly the end of the century. This was because of Civil War hoarding, which removed cents from circulation as soon as they were introduced. At the MS66 level, however, even the 1863 becomes a rarity. This lustrous sun-gold and apricot Premium Gem is mark-free, and well struck save for the upper feathertips.
