1865 Indian Head Cent. Plain 5
<Our item number 107240><B>1865 Indian Head Cent. Plain 5. PCGS graded MS-65 Red.</B> This is a well struck example of this final Civil War date. The date is the Plain 5 style, which is slightly scarcer than the Fancy 5 logotype. The color is a moderately bright gold. There is a small contact mark to the right of the date and a tiny speck by the A in AMERICA. <BR><BR>This date is common in average grades due to its high mintage, but gem full red examples are very difficult to locate. A quick look at the PCGS population shows it to be scarcer in this grade than much overall scarcer dates. Only 10 examples are presently graded with 2 higher. Granted, PCGS did not always denote the different logotypes on their holders so some of the 40 pieces listed under the 1865 Fancy 5 may be Plain 5 pieces. Still it is in fact a very difficult coin to locate. <B>Pop 10; 2 finer in 66.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 92084&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;2,500-2,800. <I><BR>Ex:The &#34;Chiro&#34; Collection. Eagle Eye Photo Seal accomp anies this lot.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 107240<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/107240.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/107240N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
