1865 Plain 5 Cent, MS66+ Red
CAC Endorsed, Scarce Date Type
Tied for Finest Known

1865 1C Plain 5 MS66+ Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Dayton. The Plain 5 variety of the 1865 Indian cent is significantly scarcer than its Fancy 5 counterpart. Only 38 pieces are classified Red at PCGS. Of these, the finest are five MS66 pieces, two of which are Plus graded. The Dayton specimen is thus tied with one other at the top of the PCGS-certified Condition Census. NGC has inconsistently attributed Plain 5 versus Fancy 5 coins, and so the NGC Census numbers are unreliable for the two varieties. It is noted, however, that NGC has seen only six MS66 Red and MS66+ Red pieces across both date types (3/21).
This coin displays sharp central detail with slight softness on the upper portion of the reverse shield at 12 o'clock. Original copper-orange and amber-red hues adorn each side, and there are no bothersome abrasions. CAC endorsed with beautiful aesthetics for the issue. Population: 5 in 66 (2 in 66+) Red, 0 finer. CAC: 5 in 66, 0 finer (3/21).
