First year of issue for its type. The 1860 was produced from a composite of copper and nickel. Very common except for gem grades that are scarce and the finest gems, which are rare. The 1860 normally comes with a strong strike and, most notably, the date displays incredible luster.
Obverse Description
A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description
The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
