The 1864 L on Ribbon Variety is popular and desired among its series and denomination as a whole. The L stands for Longacre, the designer of the coin. Very tough issue to locate in all grades and very scarce when uncirculated. The color designations see a gradual increase in value up to Red, which is quite rare.
Obverse Description
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 Description
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.
