1861 Indian Cent NGC MS63. First Civil War dated cents, soon withdrawn from circulation when the Civil War continued. Always in demand for type and date sets, these affordable Civil War dated coins are soon to rise in price when the sesquicentennial of the Civil War draws more collectors to these coins. The present offering represents a truly original example of this popular date. No major hits are seen on either sides, and a strong strike is exhibited on both sides. A great coin to put away for a couple of years and see the rise in value.
