Description du lot

1864 Indian Cent. Bronze. Snow-PR2. Proof-66 RB (PCGS). This wonderfully original example exhibits light to medium olive-brown surfaces that retain ample golden-orange color. A blush of reddish-rose is also evident in the center of the obverse -- very attractive. A sharply struck, expertly preserved example from a mintage that is best estimated at 300 Proofs. Snow-PR2 accounts for the vast majority of survivors of the Proof 1864 Bronze, No L Indian cent, with Rick Snow (2014) asserting that upward of 200 specimens were coined from these dies. This is a late die state example, a loupe revealing considerable evidence of die rust on Liberty's portrait. PCGS Population: 15; 2 finer in this category (both Proof-67 RB). PCGS# 2277. NGC ID: 229F. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
