Obv: The same design that the Mint used to strike regular issue Indian cents, 1860 to 1864. Rounded Bust point with the date centered in the field below the bust. Snow Die Pair I is a Doubled Die Obverse, evident at the letters ERT in LIBERTY. Rev: The denomination ONE CENT within an oak wreath, with a broad ornamental shield at top. Handsome deep tan-rose patina blankets both sides, with undertones of tan-apricot. Fully struck with satiny devices and semi-reflective fields.
