Seldom-Seen 1863 Cameo Cent, PR65

1863 1C PR65 Cameo NGC. The 1863 is much significantly scarcer than the 1862, and it is seldom found with cameo contrast. This high-end example looks like the finest 1862. The fields are deeply reflective and establish a "black" background against the noticeably frosted devices on each side. Like the 1862 above, this piece also retains much of the original "whiteness" of the copper-nickel alloy, with just a bit of reddish patina also present. The only mentionable surface defects are a luster scrape on the neck and a curious hairline-thin crack in the planchet across the high point of the Indian's face--both of which require magnification to discern. Census: 9 in 65 Cameo, 8 finer (2/10).(Registry values: N4719)
