Description
The Finest Certified 1862 Cent, PR68 Cameo
An Important Condition Rarity
1862 1C PR68 Cameo NGC. Only a tiny percentage of surviving
1862 proof cents show the cameo contrast that collectors find so
appealing. The PR68 Cameo offered here is the finest example
seen by either NGC or PCGS. Indeed, it is the only
Copper-Nickel cent designated Cameo or Deep Cameo to get the 68
grade with none equal or finer at either service. As such, it is an
extremely important condition rarity.This piece displays bright copper-gold surfaces with breathtaking field-motif contrast. Excellent strike definition characterizes the design elements and distracting blemishes of any sort are absent. A microscopic planchet flake near the jawline is completely inoffensive but might be useful for future identification.
