 1863 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, on the cusp of fully Gem. Here is a totally satisfying example of one of the most desirable low-mintage dates of this series, boasting beautifully frosted devices standing boldly out from deeply reflective silver fields. A hairline or two are noted for accuracy, though some effort is required to find them and they do not detract from this coin's breath-taking overall beauty. One of 27,200 business strikes produced. NGC has certified 57 of the date in all grades, but only 20 in MS-64. The explosion of interest in this series in recent years has vastly increased collector pressure on all such high quality specimens. NGC MS64.
