Description
Finest Certified 1865 Red Indian Cent
1865 1C PR66 Red NGC. Very scarce as a Gem and with full red color. This coin is not technically a full red piece on the obverse, but it is completely original and untampered. Many of the planchets for proofs from this year have tin and zinc that was not mixed well in the alloy. Because of the volatility of these metals, the planchets will not hold the original red color of the coin for very long. On this piece, the obverse has a lovely mixture of lime-green and red coloration, while the reverse is almost completely cherry-red. An interesting piece and one that the advanced collector will surely appreciate. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (9/04).(#2284) (Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 229H, PCGS# 2284, GSID# 1495)
