August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: Top-Pop 1879 Proof Indian Cent 1879 Indian Cent. Proof-67 RD (PCGS). OGH. Vivid mint orange color is brighter on the reverse, the obverse with an intermingling of equally original olive iridescence. Both sides are silky smooth in texture with semi-reflective fields supporting smartly impressed, fully defined features. The mintage of 3,200 Proofs for the 1879 is one of the more generous in the Proof Indian cent series, but the type as a whole is rare above the certified Proof-66 RD level. As well, most Superb Gems in numismatic circles are survivors of late date issues from the 1890s and early 20 century. The present example is a Condition Census rarity for the 1879 issue that would do equally well in a top flight Proof type or date set. Provenance: From the George Schwenk Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Robert R. Rollins Collection, Part III, July-August 2008 ANA Signature Auction, lot 1155; Heritage's FUN Signature Auction of January 2015, lot 3263.
