Description
1893 Six-Piece Proof Set
PR66-PR68, All NGC-Certified
1893 1C Cent PR66 Red and Brown NGC. This is an interesting
cent and one that is especially interesting when considering the
Red and Brown color designation: The obverse is full mint red and
the reverse is deep brown. Our best speculation how this occurred
is the obverse must have lain in a cabinet drawer face down, thus
perfectly preserving it, and the reverse was exposed to the air,
toning it. The field are deeply reflective and the obverse shows a
crinkly, orange-peel effect not often seen on copper (but regularly
seen on gold proofs of the era). Fully struck and almost entirely
free of carbon. Census: 10 in 66 Red and Brown, 1 finer
(3/15).(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22AF, PCGS# 2367, Greysheet# 1635)
Weight: 3.11 grams
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
