1865 Cent, MS66 Red
Fancy 5 Date Variant

1865 1C Fancy 5 MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. This example is tied with a small number of others for finest-graded honors. There are two basic date logotypes for the 1865 Indian cents, distinguished by the shape of the flag of the 5. The Plain 5 logotype has the top of the digit 5 smoothly and gradually curved. The Fancy 5 has the top of that digit extended to the right by a sharp hook or upward bend. This example is fully struck with highly lustrous pale orange surfaces. A few tiny flecks of dark color can only be seen with magnification. The overall aesthetic appeal of this Premium Gem quality specimen is excellent. Population: 15 in 66 (2 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 9 in 66, 0 finer (5/19).
