Rare Cameo Proof 1861 Indian Cent 1861 Indian Cent. Snow-PR3. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. This is a simply outstanding example of a Proof Indian cent issue that is rarely encountered with a boldly cameoed finish. Gorgeous golden-apricot surfaces are deeply mirrored in the fields, satiny and fully defined over the devices. Silky smooth and delightful, this impressive strike and condition rarity is a standout highlight in the fabulous ESM Collection. Although the Mint struck approximately 1,000 Proof Indian cents in 1861, only 134 specimens had been distributed to collectors by April 30. The outbreak of the Civil War probably meant that few additional examples found buyers by year's end, and we suspect that the vast majority of coins struck were later released into circulation. A scarce and underrated issue, represented here by an exceptional Cameo Gem specimen. The Eagle Eye Photo Seal certificate is not included. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population: 5 in the Cameo category, all Proof-65. CAC Population: 2. PCGS# 82256. NGC ID: 229B. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
