Description
1879 Indian Head Cent, PR66 Cameo
Only Five Cameo Examples Seen at PCGS
1879 1C PR66 Cameo PCGS. With an increase in proof minor
coinage at the Philadelphia mint, beginning in 1878, along with
improved planchet production, the overall quantity and quality of
proof Indian Cents becomes apparent, and, from this point onward,
they are more available than scarce business-strike dates in the
series. This bright Premium Gem is obviously uncommon, especially
with the Cameo designation, one of only five such coins in the PCGS
pantheon. It is crisply impressed, with a lovely mixture of orange,
red-gold, and pastel-green colors, and deeply reflective fields
beneath exquisitely frosted devices. Population: 3 in 66 Red Cameo,
2 finer (7/10).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 229Y, PCGS# 82326, GSID# 1566)
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
