Description

NGC 1860 MS 62. Elusive in all grades with only 19,763 pieces minted, the '60-P is prohibitively rare above XF. This coin is tied for second finest certified, being bettered only by a single NGC MS 63. Showing some softness of striking details on the upper hair curls and eagle's plumage, the fields are bright and show a curious, but pleasing, mixture of semi-prooflikeness (from being struck with striated dies) and cartwheel luster. Minimally abraded for the grade.
