Lot Description

1903 Indian Cent. Snow-PR1, the only known dies. Misplaced Date. Proof-67 RB (PCGS). Deep olive-orange color gives way to even more vivid pinkish-orange iridescence as the surfaces dip into a light. This is an attractively original, expertly preserved survivor from a mintage of 1,790 Proofs. According to Rick Snow (2014) only a single die marriage is known for this issue, and it is a Misplaced Date variety with traces of an errant 03 in the denticles below the primary digits. PCGS Population: just 5; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 2397. NGC ID: 22AS. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
