Lot 67
1875 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red. Rich golden toning with a hint of violet in the center. This coin is high end for the grade with frosted devices, spotless surfaces and moderate mirrors, as is typical for this issue. This is a very tough date in full red. In an old green PCGS holder.
This is a year where the production of proofs was not given the quality control seen in other years. Every denomination in the proof set is hard to find in the higher grades due to this lack of quality standards. For years they were unknown in PR 65RD. A few are now known, but it is perhaps because the grading services lowered their expectations due to the quality of extent examples.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.
