Description
PR68 Red and Brown 1897 Indian Cent
Tied for Numerically Finest at PCGS
1897 1C PR68 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Beautiful cherry-red
and mint-green shadings visit the copper-orange surfaces of this
magnificent specimen. The fields are watery and deeply reflective,
and the design elements offer razor-sharp definition. A small flaw
on the neck is trivial. This is an incredible condition rarity, one
of just two pieces for the date certified by PCGS as PR68 with any
color classification; the other is a PR68 Cameo, presumably Red
(11/11). With a mintage of 1,938 pieces, the 1897 proof issue has a
middle-of-the-road mintage by the standards of late-date Indian
cent issues, though finding an attractive specimen can pose a
challenge. This appealing example should appeal to a wide variety
of collectors.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2006), lot 373; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), lot 2700.(Registry values: N2998)
