Superb Red and Brown 1874 Cent

1874 1C PR67 Red and Brown PCGS. The 1874 is not known as a well produced issue in proof format. The mirrors are generally light to moderate in reflectivity and there are usually extensive die finishing lines on the upper portion of the obverse. As one might imagine from the MS67 grade, this coin is significantly finer than the typical proof 1874. While not deeply mirrored, the fields are bright and reflective. The die finishing lines are definitely present when magnification is used, but these are light and not visible to the unaided eye. The surfaces have a lovely intermixture of lime-green and pale rose coloration. Essentially perfect and immaculately preserved. Tied for finest certified with only one other piece so graded, that being an NGC coin (9/04).(#2310) (Registry values: N2998)
