Magnificent PR67 1859 Indian Cent
1859 1C PR67 NGC. After several pattern strikings in the previous year, the small cent was redesigned in 1859 with the image of a Native American with Caucasian features (!) wearing the headdress of the Chippewa tribe. On the reverse, the wreath is actually composed of olive leaves, although it is commonly thought to be made of laurel. While readily available in PR64-65 grades, the 1859 is a notable condition rarity in Superb condition with only one other piece so graded by NGC and none finer at either service (9/04). This is one of the most visually appealing Indian cents we have ever seen of any date. Each side displays pale lilac patina that is accented by reddish-coppery tones around the margins and scattered streaks of rose and blue. A one-year type coin of unparalleled beauty.(#2247) (Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2299, PCGS# 2247, GSID# 1467)
