- 1859 Indian Cent. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Delicate champagne-pink iridescence enlivens otherwise light tan surfaces on both sides of this remarkable specimen. The fields are watery and lightly reflective, offering a faint contrast against the satiny devices. Sharply struck with outstanding eye appeal. Although the Mint struck a large number of Proof 1859 Indian cent in anticipation of strong sales in connection with the new design, examples are surprisingly scarce in today's market. Rick Snow (2014) opines that less than half an estimated mintage of 800 Proofs was actually distributed to contemporary collectors, the remaining pieces probably released into circulation in later years. This is a superior example for both the issue and the assigned grade that is sure to please the discerning bidder. PCGS# 2247. NGC ID: 2299. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
