- 1862 Indian Cent. Snow-Unlisted. Spiked Ear. MS-67 (PCGS).
Here is a truly magnificent 1862 Indian cent, from the copper-nickel, Oak Wreath series of 1861 through 1864. Both sides are brightly lustrous with a satin to softly frosted finish from the dies. Pale tan patina blankets surfaces that are silky smooth in appearance and temptingly close to pristine. Sharply struck with eye appeal to spare. With 28,075,000 circulation strikes produced, the 1862 has the second highest mintage in this brief series. Examples of the 1862 are readily available in most Mint State grades up through MS-65, but they become exponentially more elusive approaching Superb Gem condition. In solidly graded MS-67 condition, the present piece is a noteworthy condition rarity. In fact, it is among the finest known to PCGS, a coin that is eagerly awaiting inclusion in a highly regarded Indian cent cabinet.
A single die file mark (as made) points down from Liberty's earlobe. This "spike" (per the nomenclature used by Rick Snow) is in a different position than the one seen on the S-8 variety, and it also does not continue above the earlobe.
PCGS Population: 12; 4 finer (MS-68 finest).
PCGS# 2064. NGC ID: 227H.
