Remarkable Gem Proof 1859 Indian Cent
1859 1C PR66 NGC. Longacre's Indian cent design made its debut in 1859, and according to Mint records 800 proofs were struck. However, it is very likely that a sizeable (but admittedly unknown) percentage of those 800 specimens were melted at year's end as unsold. This is a very flashy, deeply mirrored example that is light in color overall with a pronounced pinkish hue on the obverse and a subtle green accent over the reverse. Strong eye appeal as well as technical preservation. Population: 21 in 66, 2 finer (9/04).(#2247) (Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2299, PCGS# 2247, GSID# 1467)
