Description
1897 Cent, PR67 Red Cameo
Extraordinary Type Coin
1897 1C PR67 Red Cameo PCGS. Ex: Palm Beach Collection. The
1897 Indian Head cent boasts a small proof mintage of 1,795 pieces.
In spite of the low mintage, some extraordinary specimens of the
date are still extant. In A Guide Book of Flying Eagle and
Indian Head Cents, Q. David Bowers relates, "Some of the
prettiest gem cameo coins are found for this date." Bowers could
have had the present coin in mind when he made the preceding
statement. Vibrant orange and lemon hues endow this well-struck and
exceptionally preserved Superb Gem with exceptional eye appeal. The
portrait has splendid cameo contrast with the reflective field.
PCGS has certified only two other coins in PR67 Red Cameo, with one
finer, and NGC has yet to grade any coin this high within the Red
Cameo designation (11/14).Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2009), lot 2103.(Registry values: P1)
