1870 1C MS65 Red PCGS. After William Barber took over the job of Chief Engraver after Longacre's unt
1870 1C MS65 Red PCGS. After William Barber took over the job of Chief Engraver after Longacre's untimely death the previous year, he made slight modifications to the reverse hub. Without going into detail, this single year is represented by three different hub varieties. This particular coin was struck from the old Type One hub, which had been in use since 1864. It is immediately recognizable by the shallow N at the bottom of ONE. The obverse is especially well struck, with only slight softness evident on the shield on the upper reverse. Orange-red and cherry-red coloration is intermixed over both sides and the coin is well balanced in appearance. There are no obvious abrasions on either side and just a few specks of deeper color are evident on the reverse. Population: 29 in 65, 4 finer (1/03).From the Colburn Collection.
