CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Beautiful eye appeal. Rare S-10c variety rated 2*. Bisecting die crack from 11:00 through portrait to 5:00. Late die state which actually adds value to the piece. There’s another crack through the date & yet another near the obverse rim from about 1:00 to 2:30.

Expert Comments

David Hall

The 1864 is the most common of the early date "Type 3" (bronze) Indian cents in all grades, including Gem full Red. That said, it is a scarce coin by later (20th century) standards. Most mint state specimens are Red & Brown, though full Reds are available. This is a rare coin in superb MS66 condition and, like all early Indian cents, it is virtually impossible to find in MS67.
