1901 1C PR68 Red NGC. Snow-PR1. The sharp eyes of Frank Van Valen first noticed repunching at the base of 9 and 0 on what is now known as the Snow-PR1 variety. The strike is bold on this blazing Indian cent, which displays a full four diamonds and crisp detail at LIBERTY. A touch of softness shows at the tops of a couple of headdress feathers and the lowest hair curl. While some of the feather tips, part of the ribbon, and a portion of the highpoint hair and BERTY show pale-blue accents, all else displays flaming, deep sunset-orange color of the most delectable appearance. Visible carbon is absent, other than a couple of tiny obverse flecks seen under a loupe. This example and one other piece at NGC are tied for the finest non-Cameo proofs certified (9/25). Housed in a well-preserved NGC Generation 4 fatty holder (without a barcode) with an unblemished exposed hologram on the back.(Registry values: N4719)
From The LaLonde Family Collection.
