Description

1868 1C PR66 Red PCGS. The 1868 is a highly respected and very rare proof Indian cent in Gem or finer condition and with full red color. The official mintage for the 1868 was 600 pieces in proof format. Ron Sirna has estimated that about 100 pieces were struck with a widely rotated reverse; however, we believe that to be a conservative number and think the number of rotated reverse pieces to be closer to half the mintage. This is an especially attractive example that has rich red surfaces with subtle orange-colored streaks interspersed over each side. Intricately detailed in all areas. Population: 2 in 66 Red, 0 finer (3/09).
