Lot Description

Here is a brilliant RED Proof 1885 Indian cent. The obverse has bright orange-red reflective mirrors that shine on with strong brilliance, while the reverse has richer, brick red accents. The sharply struck devices stand out against the mirrored fields. There are a few tiny micro specks that are noted, but none are singularly distracting to the very pleasing eye appeal. Housed in a first generation "rattler" holder. PCGS 20, NGC 5. The last three have sold in the $881 to $1,293 range, and the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $1,350. Rare any finer with just 14 coins graded higher in the designation. Totally fresh to the market, we anticipate this GEM bringing serious bidding. Cert. Number 8112344 PCGS # 2344
