Lot 1190
1859 Indian Head Cent. NGC graded MS-65. Satiny and original with blazing luster on the obverse and well struck, a bit more toning on the reverse. This is the first year of issue of the Indian cent, and a beauty to boot. There is some localized weakness on the lower wreath and below, and the Mint was still trying to figure out the best mix of striking pressure to extend the dies life while striking these coins well. Perfect for the advanced collector who needs this date.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
