<B>1865 50C MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Satiny throughout, with a light dusting of charcoal-gray patina on each side that definitely enhances the overall eye appeal of the piece. When the coin is held beneath a lamp, lovely iridescent sea-green and rose toning becomes evident in the fields and near the borders. The 1865 is a rare issue at this grade level, and only a handful of additional Premium Gems are known. Boldly struck with nicely defined stars, a crisp portrait, and sharp feather and talon details on the eagle. Careful inspection with a loupe fails to reveal any distracting marks, as expected, but this piece may be even cleaner than necessary for the grade; in fact it is nearly pristine. Conditionally elite and among the finest known.
