Vibrant PR66 Red 1888 Cent

1888 1C PR66 Red PCGS. Though a quick glance through mintage figures might leave the impression that the 1888 proof Indian cent must be a common coin in all grades, this view is slightly mistaken. As Richard Snow notes in his A Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents, "Although this is one of the higher-mintage Proof dates, it remains slightly elusive in high grades. This date is very tough in full red, especially in gem." This Premium Gem is primarily vibrant copper-orange with elements of the golden-tan that sometimes appears on higher-end specimens from the issue. Its overall detail and preservation are equally exquisite. Population: 3 in 66 Red, 0 finer (6/08).
