The Pointed Bust design covers just a fraction of the 1860 mintage and is more similar to the 1859 (as the tip of the bust is not rounded like the rest of 1860 mintage). Certainly scarcer than the rounded busts with all grades being a bit more valuable, especially high-end gems that are very rare.
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.
