1860 Indian Cent, PR66
Seldom Seen Finer, CAC Endorsed

1860 1C PR66 PCGS. CAC. Snow-PR1. The 1860 proofs represent the first year of the Shield Wreath design paired with the Rounded Bust obverse. Only 542 proofs were struck in 1860, making it the second scarcest of the copper-nickel proofs. Three proof die pairs exist, with the present coin displaying the Snow-PR1 dies. This is a flashy and reflective example that features lovely, light-tan surfaces showing a slight overlay of iridescence on each side. The only surface flaw of note is a small carbon spot to the right of the shield on the upper reverse. Compared to most 1860 proofs, this coin offers superior overall quality and a sharp strike throughout. It has not been seen at auction for more than 20 years. Population: 18 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 0 finer (9/24).
