Lot 12
1878 Indian Head Cent. NGC graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. Older holder. Lovely colors. Bold golden red luster on lustrous fine wood-grain colored surfaces. Sharp and appealing. A diminished impression is again the not possible for a Proof cent of 1878, all of these were very well struck. But in contrast, some developed uneven color or spotting; this piece was left very boldly detailed by the recoil of the sharp dies and a gem; a fortunate convergence. 2,350 proofs minted. Pop 55; 6 in 66RB.
Estimated Value $300 - 350.
