Description

1865 1C Fancy 5 MS65 Red PCGS. While somewhat more frequently encountered than the Plain 5 from this year, the Fancy 5 constitutes a one-year type, as we are unaware of this numeral punch being used on any coins from other years. This is a remarkable cent that shows original orange-red mint luster and a strong strike in all areas. Die clashing is also noted on each side with a jagged die crack at the top of the reverse. Population: 40 in 65 Red, 10 finer (2/09).
Ex: Heritage (2/2005), lot 5207.
