Description

Dazzling 1871 Cent, PR65 Red

1871 1C PR65 Red NGC. A blazing proof with original mint red and outstanding luster. The impressive bright red and orange patina shows a slight tint of lavender on Liberty. The surfaces exhibit only light marks, and scattered microscopic flecks are visible under magnification. Proofs from 1871 are especially popular because of the low mintage of business strikes. Nonetheless, few proofs have survived in Gem condition, and it is nearly impossible to find a finer example. Housed in an early NGC holder. Census: 15 in 65 Red, 2 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 229P, PCGS# 2302, GSID# 1525)
