Superb Gem Brown 1864 L on Ribbon Cent

1864 1C L On Ribbon MS67 Brown NGC. The 1864-L was not saved in large numbers and, consequently, is seldom found in high grades, most likely because the addition of Longacre's initial was not readily discernible to the general public. This piece, however, is a splendid example with undisturbed, glossy surfaces. Unlike many of the high grade survivors known, this piece displays full detail. Iridescent shades of ruby-red and ocean-blue appear in the fields. Strong clash marks are noted on the obverse, but little evidence of clashing is noted on the reverse. This is the only Superb Gem of this issue graded by either NGC or PCGS in any color category (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)
