1861 1C MS (PCGS#2061)

August 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1861 Indian Cent. Snow-2. Doubled Die Obverse, Repaired ES in STATES. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. An awe-inspiring coin with iridescent rose-apricot overtones to a base of medium tan patina. Both the striking detail and luster are full, and the surfaces are expectably close to pristine for the assigned grade. With only 10,100,000 circulation strikes produced, the 1861 boasts the lowest mintage among copper-nickel Indian cents. Perhaps understandably, this is the scarcest date of its type, the paucity of survivors also explained by the wholesale redemption and melting of examples during the 1870s. Even so, Mint State survivors are fairly plentiful in an absolute sense due to hoarding of copper-nickel cents during the Civil War. Few such coins are as carefully preserved as this upper end Gem, however, which fact is sure to result in spirited competition for this offering among discerning collectors. Provenance: From the BSC Indians Collection, the current 7th Finest on the PCGS Set Registry. PCGS Population: 10; 13 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 2061. NGC ID: 227G.
