WOW! This is one stunning SUPERB GEM 1861 Indian Head cent! For a coin struck at the start of the Civil War, it is amazing that this cent survived in such a pristine state of preservation! Incredibly brilliant with swirling mint luster that rolls boldly with a strong cartwheeling effect. Sharply struck with full, crisp definition on both sides. Golden-red mint color is lightly dusted with a soft lilac-overtone. The surfaces are pristine and the eye appeal is simply amazing. PCGS 114, NGC 48, CAC 29. There are 19 in MS66+ and just 18 graded finer. The most recent example was deeply toned and sold for $3,878 in our February 2021 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,200. Any PCGS MS67 CAC will cost close to $20,000, so this is a SUPERB selection for a wonderful set for a more budget conscientious collector. Bid accordingly. Cert. Number 35365220 PCGS # 2061.00
