1866 Misplaced Date One Cent MS RD S-13 Values
Details
The 1866 Indian Cent is a slightly better date in the Indian Cent Series; especially, in comparison to previous issues. It is even relatively difficult to acquire in circulated grades. When uncirculated, this date is definitely scarce with red gems, specifically, being very rare.
Obverse: 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: 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.
