Description
Rare 1869 Gem Cameo Proof Indian Cent
1869 1C PR65 Red Cameo PCGS. There are two reasons why so few cameo 1869 Cents are known today: first, the mint's method of proof production in the late 1860s and early 1870s entailed polishing the dies after they were hardened not before; and second, many coins were struck with leftover, worn reverse dies. This particular piece has notably deep mirrors in the fields and it must have been one of the first coins struck from a new pair of dies as the devices are nicely frosted. The rich crimson-red surfaces show a slight undertone of lime-green at certain angles as well as original orange-red coloration. Population: 4 in 65 Cameo, 3 finer (9/04).(#82296) (Registry values: P4)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 229M, PCGS# 82296, GSID# 1516)
