Lot Description

Very Rare Cameo Proof 1902 Indian Cent Outstanding Superb Gem 1902 Indian Cent. Snow-PR4. Repunched Date. Proof-67 RD Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This is a truly exceptional survivor from an issue that, as a whole, was produced using universally polished dies. On the present example, the devices exhibit enough of a satin texture to offer appreciable contrast with highly reflective fields. Virtually pristine, both sides also offer full striking detail and outstanding vivid golden-orange and pinkish-red color. It is difficult for us to imagine a more appealing survivor from a mintage of 2,018 Proofs for the 1902 Indian cent. Snow-PR4 is a minor Repunched Date for this issue, evidence for which is boldest within the upper loop of the digit 9. Provenance: From the ESM Collection.
