The Finest RD CAM Proof 1871 Cent Graded by PCGS 1871 Indian Cent. Snow-PR1. Shallow N. Proof-66 RD Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Here is an extraordinary condition rarity that stands tall among the highlights in the ESM Collection of Proof Flying Eagle and Indian cents. Both sides are wonderfully original; the obverse is even golden-orange and the reverse is slightly warmer pinkish-orange. Subtle olive undertones are very attractive and add to the visual appeal. Boldly cameoed with a razor sharp strike, this pristine-looking beauty will please even the most discerning bidder. The majority of Proof 1871 cents known are of the Shallow N reverse hub variety, and there are two die pairings known for this type. Snow-PR1, offered here, displays noticeable separation between the digits 71 in the date and has a tiny die line extending into Liberty's neck from the fourth pearl in the necklace. Both Shallow N die pairings feature the same reverse, which was also used to strike several rare pattern Indian cents, as well as the Snow-PR2 variety of the classic Proof 1864 L on Ribbon. At least 960 Proof cents were struck in 1871, these coins intended for distribution to contemporary collectors as part of the year's silver Proof sets. In keeping with the trend noted for earlier dated bronze Indian cent Proofs, the 1871 is rare in full Red Gem preservation and very rare in the Cameo category, as here. The Eagle Eye Photo Seal certificate is not included. Provenance: From the ESM Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the "Newmismatist" Collection, the All-Time #1 PCGS Registry Set, January 2003 FUN Signature Sale, lot 5433. PCGS Population: 1; 0 finer in this category.
