Description
Glittering 1859 Indian Cent, PR66 Cameo
1859 1C PR66 Cameo PCGS. First year of issue for the Indian cent, the figure of Liberty is actually represented by a Caucasian female that is wearing a headdress of the Chippewa tribe. Only struck with this obverse and reverse combination in 1859, some 800 proofs were minted minus an unknown number that were melted at year's end. This is a bright, lightly toned example that appears to be fully original. Each side is lightly dusted with pleasant lilac-red patina, and for pedigree purposes, a lintmark is seen through the N of UNITED into the left obverse field. The fields are deeply reflective, and there is a significant amount of mint frost over the devices that gives the coin an appealing cameo contrast. Population: 5 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (3/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: P6)
