Lot Description

1861 Indian Cent. Proof-64 (NGC). Medium gold with lightly frosted motifs and reflective fields. From an estimated Proof mintage for the date of 400 to 500 pieces. "Such estimates vary widely, and I have seen numbers as low as 100 and as high as 1,000," notes Dave Bowers in his reference on the series. A few faint flecks, chiefly visible under low magnification, are noted for accuracy. A handsome specimen sure to be appreciated by Indian cent enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Gorton Collection.
