1869 1C, BN PR (PCGS#2294)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1869 Indian Cent. Proof-66 BN (PCGS). Wonderful original surfaces are warmly toned in glossy copper-brown, with iridescent undertones of pink, apricot and lilac-blue. The semi-reflectivity of the fields forms a lovely backdrop to softly frosted, fully struck design elements. Not recorded at the time of issue, the mintage for the Proof 1869 Indian cent is unknown but usually estimated between 850 and 1,100 coins, although Rick Snow (2014) takes a more conservative view when he writes that only 600 or so were struck. Tied for finest certified in the PCGS BN category, this handsome premium Gem would make a lovely addition to any collection. PCGS Population: 6; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 2294. NGC ID: 229M.
