Description

PCGS 1863 MS 66. A scarce Civil War-era business strike, with many of the 21,000 pieces issued hoarded and eventually melted. Like most examples of this date, the surfaces on this mostly brilliant specimen display watery prooflike qualities, although there is a curious area of non-reflectiveness above the star. Quality on the few known mint state pieces is rather evenly dispersed. This glittering example is surely among the finest. Population: 5 in 66, none higher.
