1860 Indian Cent, PR66+
Only Two Finer, CAC

1860 1C PR66+ NGC. CAC. Snow-PR1. The second issue of the Indian cent proof was updated to include the shield-wreath design as well as the rounded bust obverse. While 1,000 proof coins were produced, many went unsold and were later melted by the Mint. With the two main grading services show just 214 pieces graded. The issue is a conditional rarity, and opportunities for collectors are quite limited. This Premium Gem proof features a bold strike on frosty copper-nickel surfaces that flash iridescent hues of plum, emerald and amber through a metallic-tan patina. A few tiny carbon spots on the obverse account for the grade, and only a few minor imperfections are visible under a loupe. This Plus-graded example has CAC approval, and for non-Cameo examples there are only two finer pieces at NGC and there are none finer at PCGS (6/25). Census: 15 in 66 (1 in 66+, 1 in 66★ ), 2 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 0 finer (6/25).(Registry values: N4719)
