- 1860 Indian Cent. Snow-PR1. Proof-66 (PCGS). Splendid golden-tan patina greets the viewer from both sides of this fully impressed, modestly reflective specimen. Although numismatic tradition maintains that approximately 1,000 Proof Indian cents were struck in 1860, the second year of the series and the first of the Oak Wreath with Shield design type, Rick Snow (2014) suggests that only 542 or so coins were actually distributed to contemporary collectors. The balance of the mintage was retained in the Mint until released into circulation in later years. Premium quality Gems such as this are notoriously difficult to find, this being a generally poorly produced issue that also suffered from below average preservation among earlier generations of collectors. The present offering certainly represents a significant find for the astute Indian cent enthusiast. PCGS Population: 16; 0 finer. PCGS# 2253. NGC ID: 229A.
