A completely and totally original GEM example of the first year of the Indian Head cent and this one year type with the laurel wreath reverse. Watery reflective underlying mirrors flash from below a dusting of totally original, multicolored orange-tan, lilac, rose, and soft gold toning. The surfaces are clean overall. There is a single tiny toning fleck on the bridge of the nose. Clearly this coin sat, and sat, undisturbed in an old collector envelope for ages. The eye appeal is great. PCGS 57, NGC 39, CAC 10. Only 800 Proofs were struck. The most recent PCGS/CAC example sold in November 2016 for $4,935; more recently an NGC/CAC coin sold in April 2021 for $7,200. We expect bidding to be strong for this one. Good luck. Cert. Number 39817862 PCGS # 2247.00
