Important PR66 Red 1875 Cent

1875 1C PR66 Red PCGS. The two PR66 Red pieces certified by PCGS must be considered the finest examples known, since NGC has graded no examples at that level with that color designation and neither service has encapsulated a Red Superb Gem (6/08). This delightful survivor, coined from the "Bulging T" reverse that was used to strike a number of proof cents in years from 1872 to 1878, is one of the pair. Its vibrant copper-orange surfaces show occasional glints of ruby. Unlike many other representatives, which show evidence of carelessness in the minting process, this wonderful Premium Gem offers exacting detail and powerful, well-preserved mirrors.
