R-5. Obverse is similar to the regular issue Small Letters design and the reverse resembles the 1860 regular Indian Head Cent reverse. Beautifully preserved with rich chocolate-brown surfaces that are enlivened by iridescent undertones of blue, rose, and subtle gold that come alive under light. The strike is razor sharp throughout, with intricate feather detail on the eagle and full definition in the wreath, as expected for the issue. Fields retain strong reflectivity, complementing the deeply original, undisturbed surfaces. An exceptional example of this popular transitional design, offering both rarity and outstanding eye appeal. Tied for the finest graded at either service.
