1863. MINT ERROR. Struck 70% Off Center. NGC graded MS-64. Quite spectacular with the date so distinc and yet only the very bottom part of the Indian's portrait showing. It is indeed fascinating to encounter an Indian cent off-center strike on one of the short-lived copper-nickel, 72-grain planchets used on in 1859-64. A landmark offering for the collector of Mint Errors!
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
