1859 Indian Cent. MS-65 (NGC).
Well struck and nicely preserved overall, this coin certainly has a PQ look. Warm tan-gold color is highlighted by a Gem mint brilliance on this one year only subtype. The long running Indian Head cent series began in 1859, with a laurel wreath on the reverse, which was replaced in 1860 with the oak wreath and union shield type that would serve the series until its termination in 1909.
PCGS# 2052. NGC ID: 227E.
