Lot Description

1892 Indian Cent. Snow-PR4. Proof-65 RD Cameo (PCGS). This dreamy Gem exhibits vivid rose-orange surfaces that also reveal appreciable reflectivity in the fields. The devices are fully defined and the appearance is expectably smooth for the assigned grade. According to Rick Snow (2014), the Mint used three obverse and four reverse dies in three marriages to strike 2,745 Proof cents in 1892. Snow-PR4, represented here, is easily attributable by the presence of several tiny obverse die chips on Liberty's neck below the ear. As a boldly cameoed Gem, the coin in this lot is an impressive strike and condition rarity for the issue worthy of inclusion in an advanced collection. PCGS Population: 6; 5 finer in this category (all Proof-66 Cameo). PCGS# 82365. NGC ID: 22AE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
