- 1860 Indian Cent. FS-401. Pointed Bust. MS-65 (PCGS). Bathed in light tan iridescence, this vibrant Gem also sports full mint luster in a soft, satiny texture. Sharply struck overall. The Snow-Whitman reference suggests that perhaps just one million examples of the 1860 Indian cent are of the Pointed Bust style, this from a mintage for the date of nearly 20.6 million coins. According to Snow: "The Pointed Bust portrait is the design used for all Indian Head cents dated 1859. Pointed Bust refers to the pointed left tip of the neckline, as opposed to the later Broad Bust design. This bust was used on some 1860-dated cents, which could also correctly be called 1860, Type of 1859. These were produced when as many as 10 undated obverse dies made in 1859 were dated with the 1860 date punch and put into production. They are possibly the first Indian Head cent issues with the new reverse. The long-overlooked design difference is as significant as the 1864 With L and 1864 No L design change."
