Description du lot: Condition Census Proof 1873 Indian Cent Rare CAM Designation from PCGS 1873 Indian Cent. Snow-PR1, the only known dies. Close 3. Proof-66 RD Cameo (PCGS). The beautiful premium Gem surfaces are silky smooth in appearance with nary a detracting blemish in evidence. Delightful reflectivity in the fields serves as a backdrop to fully impressed, satin-textured devices. Featuring original light orange-olive color, this outstanding coin really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Close 3 date logotype, as are all Proof 1873 Indian cents. The mintage of this issue was not recorded by Mint personnel, although Rick Snow (2014) estimates it at 1,100 or more coins, the combined total of silver Proof sets produced that year of both the No Arrows and Arrows design types. Only a single die pairing is known. Survivors are rarely encountered with the quality and eye appeal of the present specimen. An impressive condition rarity worthy of strong bids.
