Lot 1098
1866 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. Visually stunning! Deep, deep mirror cameo gem with fully frosted devices. A few flyspecks are visible under magnification and keep the grade of this coin from something closer to total perfection. Closer inspection will reveal small depressions on Liberty's cheek and neck. These are presumably die rust marks and are on every example and are therefore not considered in determining the grade of any 1866 proof. The reverse die is the same die used on the previous lot, the 1865, although it was repolished between the two issues.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000.
