1864 Copper Nickel 1C (1864 Indian Cent Copper Nickel) NGC MS63 CAC. This is another CAC grade-verified MS-63 1864 Indian Head Cent from NGC, copper-nickel composition. Count this one as having a complete strike, very sharp and magnificently detailed for the grade.

The obverse features full diamonds on the ribbon and the tips of the feathers show very little blurring. The presence or absence diamonds are not used in factoring grades, nor the feather tips. The quality of the mint strike was widely varied that nearly all experts discount them as grade markers. But given a choice in strike quality, an MS-63 with diamonds and razor-keen feather tips is a no-brainer. Add on CAC verification and there you go, a highly desirable coin.
