With nearly 50 million cents coined in 1863, the dies were overworked, and many examples surviving in Mint State show noticeable die erosion. Examples in all grades short of MS-65 are nonetheless plentiful.
A very rare exquisite 1863 NGC certified MS 66. NGC POP 27 with 2 examples in a higher grade.
