Impressive 1865 Indian Cent, PR 66 Red PCGS

1865 1C PR 66 Red PCGS. We do not have a record for the sale of a PR 66 Red 1865 Indian cent from any year in the 1990s. In fact, this issue is seldom offered in any grade with undiminished luster quality. One of the diagnostics of this proof delivery is a small spine that protrudes into Liberty's neck from the ribbon, a feature that one can discern on the present example with the naked eye. Crimson-orange color shimmers across the obverse, the reverse displays mottled orange-red and olive colors. With impeccably preserved features, it is no wonder that this coin is one of only two PR 66 Red examples known to NGC and PCGS. There are no coins certified finer (10/00).
From the Joshua Collection.
