1870 Indian Cent. Proof-65 RB (PCGS).；More Red than Brown, this light orange Gem exhibits minimal pale rose-brown toning that is mostly confined to the central reverse. The strike is full and the quality is premium for the assigned grade. Finding high quality Proof Indian cents of the years prior to 1879 can be a challenge. Our sale offers many opportunities in this regard. The present coin is one of a number of Proofs that are from the collection of T. Harrison Garrett. Such a provenance adds to the appeal of this or any other coin.；From our (Stacks) sale of the John Work Garrett Collection for The Johns Hopkins University, March 1976, part of lot 304.
