Lot 1100
1867 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. A beautiful deep mirror cameo gem. This is an exceptional example for this date. Except for a few light flyspecks the coin is virtually as struck. The dies used for proofs this year show many anomalies, which sometimes get mistaken for problems on the coin. On the obverse there is always a die line on the neck, which to the uninitiated eye may look like a scratch. The reverse die is a leftover die used in 1865 and 1866. By its usage in 1867 it has acquired numerous die polishing marks which may look like hairlines. None of these are grade limiting and are on all examples seen to date.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000.
Includes Eagle Eye Photo Seal.
