Description

1940 1C PR65 Cameo PCGS. This original, highly contrasted Cameo piece comes from a net mintage of only 15,872 cents, produced in the year that German troops entered Paris. World War II would finally curtail the proof cent mintages only two years later. This lovely Gem has golden-orange surfaces. Only trivial contact seems to preclude an even finer grade. Cameo coins of this issue are few, and this is the only Gem Cameo PCGS has certified, with none finer (3/10).
