1865 Fancy 5 Indian Cent, MS66 Red
Rarely Seen With Bright, Original Color

1865 1C Fancy 5 MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. 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. remarkable cent shows original orange-red mint luster and a strong strike in all areas. It bears mentioning how rare all Indian cents are from the 1860s and 1870s with undimmed mint luster. Die clashing is also noted on each side with a jagged die crack at the top of the reverse. Population: 9 in 66 Red, 0 finer (6/12).
