- 1864 Indian Cent. Bronze. L on Ribbon. MS-65 RD (NGC). Exquisite bright orange surfaces are fully lustrous with a smooth satin texture. Sharply struck, expertly preserved, and a delight to behold. The popular L on Ribbon 1864 cent is the result of James Barton Longacre's redesign of his basic Indian Head design in anticipation of a change in alloy from copper-nickel to bronze. In addition to the placement of the designer's initial on the ribbon, the With L type exhibits a narrower bust point and sharper feathers in the headdress than its No L predecessor. Several times scarcer in an absolute sense than the bronze No L variety, the 1864 L on Ribbon is rare in Gem full Red Mint State, as here. Provenance: From the Beasley Collection. NGC Census: 14; 5 finer in this category (all MS-66 RD). PCGS# 2081. NGC ID: 227M. Click here for certification details from NGC.
