Description:

Wonderful 1859 PR67 Cent
One of the Three Finest Known

1859 1C PR67 NGC. An important one-year type coin, with a reported mintage of 800 pieces. Richard Snow writes of the 1859 proof in his Flying Eagle and Indian Cents reference: "Very rare, as many were unsold and melted. Probably under a hundred pieces survive as no question proofs. Intense collector demand for this one year type." Walter Breen, in his Proof Coins encyclopedia queries: "Do as many as forty survive?"
NGC/PCGS population figures would seem to indicate that the extant population is higher; the two services have certified about 350 examples. Undoubtedly, a number of these are resubmissions or crossovers.
The Superb Gem offering here ranks among the three finest known examples! The reflective fields are a beautiful orange-gold, and establish pronounced contrast with the light tan motifs, especially when the coin is tilted slightly under a light source. A powerful strike imparts complete definition to the design elements, and both sides are immaculately preserved. All in all, great overall eye appeal! Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (4/08).
From The Estate of Robert R. Rollins Collection, Part One.
(Registry values: N7079) (#2247)

We changed the way we image slabbed coins on February 1, 2010, in order to get a more accurate image of the coin. To get the sharper details and more accurate colors we have focused the lighting on the actual coin, which has caused the top of the holders to appear darker and milky. Please disregard the color of the holders when examining the images.
