1868 Cent, PR66 Red Cameo
None Numerically Finer at PCGS

1868 1C PR66 Red Cameo PCGS. Full Red examples of the 1868 proof Indian cent are scarce, and Cameo-designated pieces are rare. This Premium Gem Cameo displays rich copper-orange color, which is thicker on the obverse, with freckles of chestnut near the borders. The fields are reflective, and no major contact marks are seen. Curiously, the reverse on this piece is also rotated approximately 15 degrees counterclockwise. This date is notorious for rotated reverses with the majority of proofs having a medallic orientation. PCGS Population: 6 in 66 (1 in 66+) Cameo, 0 finer (9/25).
