Description

1860 1C PR65 PCGS. This issue is much scarcer than its 1,000-piece mintage would suggest, as 450 or more coins were melted or released into circulation due to poor sales (Richard Snow, 2006). The current Gem proof displays copper-gold color imbued with tints of ice-blue and lilac. The design elements are better struck than ordinarily seen, though softness is noted in a couple of the feather tips. A nicely preserved specimen with no significant contacts or spots. Population: 32 in 65, 7 finer (2/09).
