Lot Description

1870 Indian Cent. Snow-PR1, the only known dies. Proof-66 RB (PCGS). This splendid Gem retains much of the original rose-orange color, with some minimal iridescent gray-brown toning. Well mirrored in the fields with smartly impressed devices, this is a very nice survivor from a mintage of 1,000 or so Proofs. Worthy of the strongest bids. All Proof 1870 cents are of the Shallow N reverse hub variety, their dies made early in the year before the Mint adopted the Bold N hub. PCGS Population: 16; with a single Proof-67 RB finer in this category. PCGS# 2298. NGC ID: 229N. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
