Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Description du lot: 1869 Indian Cent. Proof-65 RB Cameo (NGC). Semi-reflective fields support fully impressed, satiny motifs on both sides of this gorgeous Gem. Far more Red than Brown, the surfaces are mostly medium orange in color with minimal muting to pale olive-brown. Not recorded at the time of issue, the mintage for the Proof 1869 Indian cent is unknown but usually estimated between 850 and 1,100 coins, although Rick Snow (2014) takes a more conservative view when he writes that only 600 or so were struck. Among the finest certified, this inviting Gem Cameo specimen would make a lovely addition to any collection. NGC Census: 5; 2 finer in this category (Proof-66+ RB Cameo finest). PCGS# 82296.
