Description
1870 1C Pick-Axe, Snow-18, FS-303, MS64 Brown PCGS Secure. Damage to the obverse die, located near the Longacre initial, provides the inspiration for the "Pick-axe" nickname. The obverse die was paired with several reverses, akin to the 1804 Spiked Chin half cent. S-18 has Bold N over Shallow N hub doubling, though the pick-up point is doubling on the upper serif of the E in CENT. Heavy reverse die cracks near 12 o'clock are undescribed in the 2014 Snow reference. The coin itself is variegated gunmetal and gold with an intricate strike and moderate carbon near the L in LIBERTY.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 569246, Base PCGS# 2097, Greysheet# 285616)
Weight: 3.11 grams
