1864 1C Copper-Nickel MS66 认证号07163349, PCGS号2070

1864 Indian Head Cent Copper-Nickel MS66 { PCGS-3 } {PS}* {CAC}** (Mar'2009) Vibrant iridescent concentric rings of color on the obverse fields, mostly jade-green, with lemon-yellow and fiery fuchsia rims contrast nicely with a highly lustrous Indian. There are subtle glimmers of lilac, rose and cobalt blue in the feathers and headdress. The reverse also has color, but in darker tones of green and rose, with some gold and lime green; but, without the brilliant luster on the front. This PQ gem has a very bold strike yielding excellent detail in the devices, including fully rendered feathers and tips and full detail in the wreath. There's one small scratch on Liberty's cheek, and another in the headband by the "L" in LIBERTY. This coin has about a 10-degree die rotation, with a die-break on the reverse from the rim at 9 o'clock into the wreath. * {PS} = Eagle Eye Photo Seal, ** {CAC} Certified Acceptance Corporation Sticker

The 1864 Copper Nickel Indian Cent is the second lowest mintage coin in the Copper Nickel Indian cent series from 1860 - 1864.

In circulated grades it is harder to find than the 1860, 1862 and 1863 or the common dates. Therefore, the 1864 Copper Nickel Cent commands a slight premium over the more common dates in most circulated grades. Only the 1861 with a lower mintage is more difficult to find in circulated grades. This is also why the 1861 commands a slightly higher premium than the 1864 Copper Nickel in circulated grades.
