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

详细说明: Exceedingly Rare Full Red Gem Cameo Proof 1888 Cent 1888 Indian Cent. Snow-PR2. Proof-66 RD Cameo (PCGS). Delightful and fully original autumn-orange surfaces offer outstanding visual appeal. Well mirrored in finish, the fields support devices that are satiny with bold to sharp striking detail. Close to pristine, as the assigned grade implies, this is one of the finest Proof 1888 cents known to PCGS. The United States Mint at Philadelphia produced 4,582 Proof cents in 1888, many of which remained unsold at year's end and were subsequently wholesaled to dealers such as David U. Proskey. These coins are easy to spot in today's market due to their deep antique copper toning overlaid with multicolored iridescence. Far rarer, however, are coins that retain fully original mint red color, as here. The Proof 1888 is even rarer with a cameo finish; the present example is one of just three CAM-designated specimens on the PCGS Population Report. A find for the advanced Proof Indian cent enthusiast, especially one competing for top ranking on the Set Registry. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Palm Beach Collection, January 2004 FUN Signature Sale, lot 4400. PCGS Population: 2; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 82353. NGC ID: 22AA.
