Description
1870 Cent, Sharp PR66 Red
Subtle Obverse Contrast
1870 1C PR66 Red PCGS. Glassy mirrors and warm honey-orange
color highlight each side of this Premium Gem Red proof, while the
design elements are fully brought up. Such quality is difficult to
locate on proofs of this period, due to slackened production
quality at the Mint. Only a couple small specks are detected, one
on the obverse near the F in OF, the other on the reverse near the
uppermost arrow tip.Variety: Shallow N, as are all known proofs of this date.
Population Data (3/15): This PR66 Red is among the five finest at PCGS. The finest at NGC are six in this grade.
Heritage Commentary: Proof 1870 Indian cents are fairly plentiful in the absolute sense, benefiting from a distribution of 1,000 pieces in silver proof sets, plus a number of additional coins in minor proof sets. However, full Red examples are scarce, distinct rarities in Gem and finer condition.
Provenance: Purchased from Pinnacle Rarities (11/2013).(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 229N, PCGS# 2299, Greysheet# 1520)
Weight: 3.11 grams
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
