1859 Indian Head Cent – NGC MS64 CAC
This 1859 Indian Head Cent is graded MS64 by NGC and certified by CAC for superior eye appeal within the grade. A first-year issue, this coin represents the debut of the Indian Cent series and features the one-year-only Laurel Wreath reverse, used only in 1859 before transitioning to the Oak Wreath with Shield in 1860.
Struck in copper-nickel with bold luster and satiny surfaces, this example offers crisp detail and minimal marks, making it a premium choice for type collectors or Indian Cent enthusiasts.
Mintage: 36,400,000 — but few survive in gem condition with CAC approval.
