<B>1857 1C MS65 PCGS.</B></I> Ex: Larry Shapiro. One of the most compelling aspects of this Gem is its original color. When copper-nickel cents were first issued, the public was used to the bronze alloy of the old large cents. The high nickel content of the copper-nickel cents (12% nickel) was enough to give the coins a pale honey or tan appearance. The public nicknamed them "white cents." That moniker is largely forgotten today as so many copper-nickel cents have toned over the years. This piece, however, is the exception and shows why the public called these coins white in the 1850s and 1860s. The surfaces are bright and highly lustrous, and the striking details are better-than-usual with the only exception the eagle's tailfeathers.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
