Lot Description

1879 Indian Cent. Snow-PR2. Proof-66 RD Cameo (PCGS). Fully original olive-orange color blankets both sides, the surfaces revealing more vivid reddish-orange and salmon pink hues as the coin dips into a light. A sharply struck, appreciably contrasted specimen that offers a rare Cameo designation for a Proof 1879 Indian cent. Superior quality and eye appeal in a survivor of this 3,200-coin mintage. PCGS Population: 3; 2 finer (both Proof-67 Cameo). These are the only five grading events reported by PCGS in the CA category. PCGS# 82326. NGC ID: 229Y.
