Tantalizing 1864 Copper-Nickel Cent, MS66

1864 1C Copper-Nickel MS66 PCGS. The lovely gold-tan surfaces have a bright, satiny appearance, and seem to be virtually pristine on both sides. Faint die cracks are noted through the date, along the upper left obverse beneath TES, and diagonally across the horizontal shield lines from the rim to the tip of the highest leaf on the right side of the wreath. This was the final year of the copper-nickel Indian cents, as the federal government sought to replace copper merchants' tokens with its new bronze Indian cent composition. Population: 9 in 66, 1 finer (4/09).(Registry values: N2998)
