详细说明

Sheer brilliant Proof perfection! Few survivors of this first year of the Indian Head cent can come close to the outstanding visual and technical quality of this GEM PR66! The fields are incredibly reflective with bold, deep flash and clarity. Delightful, coppery-orange gold color is totally original and fresh! They are clean, free of any haze, discoloration, or flecks of any kind. James B. Longacre's classic design types are sharply struck up, and the laurel wreath, which graced the reverse for just the first year, 1859 makes this a beauteous example of this one year only type. Only 800 Proofs were struck. PCGS 30, NGC 18, CAC 5. The most recent CAC-approved example was graded by NGC and sold for $6,900 back in 2011! Both the PCGS and CAC CPG values are listed at $6,250. Just a single PR67 is graded in the designation finer, and note that a PR66 CAM CAC would cost about 3x that. What a great coin for any Registry or any advanced Indian Head cent collection! Bidding will be as intense as the mirrors for this one! Cert. Number 38391980 PCGS # 2247.00
