Description

1866 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Snow-1. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. An impressive Premium Gem that exhibits slightly mellow red mint luster, and a bold strike with especially strong design definition. A lot is going on with this obverse die that has LIBERTY tripled, exhibits a misplaced 6 in the denticles, and has a stray one extending from the Indian's pearls above the bust line. The reverse has clear die lines slanting down to the left. Rick Snow reported in his reference that the finest known is a MS66 Red, and that only about 50 pieces were reported to him. Population: 8 in 66 Red, 0 finer (6/19).
