1862 Copper Nickel 1 Cent. NGC MS66. An outstanding premium Gem example and conditionally rare in this lofty state of preservation. The surfaces, to the unaided eye appear as flawless as they must have on the day of its minting with attractive maroon patina that now adorns portions of the surfaces. As one might expect from the grade, the strike highlights pinpoint detail and beaming luster encircles the surfaces. For the specialist or collector seeking a premium type representative, the present example calls loudly. NGC Population: 17 in MS66, none finer.
