Description
Spectacular 1897 Cent, PR68 Red and Brown
1897 1C PR68 Red and Brown PCGS. 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 listed as Cameo, but surface information is not included (11/07).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. The interested collector is invited to inspect this assuredly appealing exemplar.
