Current Finest
Possible Set Rating
67.429

This is the first small cent issued. In the opinion of most collectors it is also the most beautiful copper (or copper-nickel) coin ever struck. The Mint State set involves only three pieces. A short set, yes, but one that's a challenge as well since it includes the 1856.
