Lot Description

A spectacular GEM early Indian cent proof, and we cannot stress enough how rare these are in this exceptionally high grade and wonderful state of preservation! Remarkably deep beaming mirrors have a strong, brilliant reflection and clarity on both sides. The superb quality surfaces are awash in bold original red with slight iridescent violet overtones. Sharply struck up devices contrast with a dramatic Cameo effect with the reflective mirrored fields. The surfaces are totally devoid of any kind of flecks, spots, or marks of any kind. The eye appeal is truly spectacular. Truly a special GEM! Only 600 Proofs were struck. PCGS 7, NGC 3, CAC 3. NONE are graded finer at PCGS. LRCA had the pleasure of selling the most recent example in our July 2017 Regency Auction, where the only PCGS/CAC example to sell in auction realized a record $10,575. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $10,000. With NONE graded higher, anyone working on a top ranking set needs this one! Good luck! Cert. Number 37847318 PCGS # 082296
