<Our item number 107232><B>1860 Indian Head Cent. Pointed bust. PCGS graded MS-64.</B> The 1860 Pointed Bust or &#34;Type of 1859&#34; was virtually unknown until 1987 when Walter Breen&#39;s Encyclopedia of U.S and Colonial Coinage listed it as a very rare variety. Although far from rare, it is available enough to become an accepted part of the regular Indian Cent collection. About 1 in 40 examples of 1860 Indian Cents are found with this feature and as such it is always in demand. <BR><BR>The present example is fully struck with great luster. Only a small spot and a tiny contact mark on the reverse keeps it from a higher grade. In fact, at first glance this looks like a gem. <B>Pop 46; 30 finer; 25 in 65; 4 in 66; 1 in 67.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 2056&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,300-1,500. <I><BR>Ex:The &#34;Chiro&#34; Collection.
