August 2019 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Rosemont, IL

详细说明: Exceptional Proof 1864 Copper-Nickel Cent None Graded Finer by PCGS 1864 Indian Cent. Copper-Nickel. Snow-PR1, the only known dies. Proof-66 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Here is a phenomenal Deep Cameo Gem quality example of the final year in the brief copper-nickel Indian cent series. Vivid reddish-orange surfaces also reveal a few faint blushes of powder blue iridescence under a light. The field to device contrast is strong, with the former deeply mirrored in finish and the latter softly frosted. Fully struck throughout and virtually pristine. One of the scarcer Proof Indian cents of its type, the copper-nickel 1864 has an estimated mintage of just 370 coins. Only a single die marriage is known, a second variety with repunching to the digits 86 in the date reported by Breen remaining unconfirmed. This is a well produced issue, and while there are a few more Deep Cameo specimens available than for the Proof 1863, the Proof 1864 is still a noteworthy strike rarity with this finish. The upper end Gem offered here is also rare from a condition standpoint, and it would serve as a highlight in even the finest Proof Indian cent collection. The Eagle Eye Photo Seal certificate is not included. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. PCGS Population: 4; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 92265. NGC ID: 229E.
