1865 Fancy 5 Cent, MS66+ Red
Tied Atop the Condition Census

1865 1C Fancy 5 MS66+ Red PCGS. CAC. The Fancy 5 variant uses a date punch with the flag of the 5 curling up. Fancy 5 coins comprise a majority of the 1865 Indian cent survivorship, but standard condition rules still apply and this issue is conditionally rare in high Red grades. This Plus-designated Premium Gem Red coin is one of just five so-graded at PCGS, with none finer, making it an essential acquisition for the advanced Registry collector.

Sharpness throughout the wreath, headdress, and shield contribute to this coin's exceptional visual merits, while uniform copper-red luster throughout appears original. Virtually no trace of spotting is discernible. We have not seen a visually or technically superior Red example of this date. Population: 31 in 66 (5 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 10 in 66, 0 finer (6/24).(Registry values: N2998)
