详细说明: Gem Red Proof 1895 Cent 1895 Indian Cent. Snow-PR4. Repunched Date. Proof-66 RD (PCGS). Handsome deep rose on both sides. The surfaces are as nice as would be expected for the assigned grade and the strike is razor sharp. The Mint produced 2,062 Proof cents in 1895, 880 of which were intended for distribution as part of the year's silver Proof sets and the remaining 1,182 as part of minor coin Proof sets. Although this is a relatively limited mintage by Proof Indian cent standards, the 1895 is a particularly fertile issue for the variety collector. Snow (2014) reports five die marriages, three of which are Repunched Dates. Snow-PR4, offered here, exhibits bold repunching to the digits 1 and 9 in the date. The scarce and highly desirable full Red Gem quality of this cent will appeal to discerning numismatists. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population: 15; 4 finer in this category (all Proof-67 RD). PCGS# 2374. NGC ID: 22AH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
