Product Details: This exceptional 1859 Indian Head Cent represents a pivotal piece of American numismatic history, as it is the only year this series featured the elegant 'No Shield' laurel wreath reverse. Graded MS 64 by PCGS, this specimen radiates with original mint luster and possesses the sharp, crisp strike characteristic of a well-preserved Copper-Nickel cent. The surfaces exhibit the smooth, satiny texture expected of a choice uncirculated coin, showcasing the transition from the Flying Eagle design to James B. Longacre’s iconic Native American-inspired motif. This high-grade survivor offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a foundational first-year type coin in a state of preservation that truly honors its mid-19th-century origins.
