Description

1860 1C PR66 PCGS. CAC. The Guide Book reports that 1,000 proofs were struck, but a majority of that emission was eventually melted as unsold, and survivors are more elusive than later proof dates with a considerably lower initial mintage. Per Indian cent authority Rick Snow, the Rounded Bust subtype constitutes all 1860 proofs. This is a beautiful Premium Gem with a powerful strike and uniform honey-golden surfaces. The only defects we see on this high-end coin are two minute flecks near the I in UNITED and Liberty's lower lip. Population: 7 in 66, 0 finer (11/09).
