- 1860 Indian Cent. Rounded Bust. Proof-64 (PCGS). This exceptional specimen features light pinkish-gold patina on both sides. The reflective fields support satiny devices and the visual appeal is well above average. It is a fully struck, expertly preserved near-Gem that will please even the most discerning numismatist. Although numismatic tradition maintains that approximately 1,000 Proof Indian cents were struck in 1860 (the second year of the series and the first of the Oak Wreath with Shield design type), Rick Snow (2014) suggests that only 542 or so coins were actually distributed to contemporary collectors. The balance of the mintage was retained in the Mint until released into circulation in later years. Provenance: From the Gorton Collection. PCGS# 2253. NGC ID: 229A.
