| Notes | This 1861 Indian Head Cent represents a pivotal piece of American history, struck during the first year of the Civil War. Graded MS 64 by PCGS, this specimen boasts an exceptional strike and the distinctive 'Copper-Nickel' composition used before the transition to bronze. The surfaces exhibit a soft, satiny luster with a pleasing pale-gold hue that is characteristic of well-preserved early uncirculated issues. It is a premium choice for collectors seeking a high-grade example of a wartime cent that bridges the gap between numismatic rarity and historical significance. |
