1863 Indian Cent. Snow-PR1. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS).Incredibly beautiful surfaces are silky smooth with vivid golden-tan color. Splashes of pale blue and light reddish-rose iridescence on the reverse can be seen from some viewing angles. The devices are fully defined with a soft satin texture that contrasts appreciably with mirrored reflectivity in the fields. The estimated mintage of this issue is 460 coins, the actual total probably a bit higher to account for the Mints issuance of some examples individually as opposed to as part of Proof sets. Scarcer than the Proof 1862 cent, and Cameo-designated specimens, as here, are in the minority among examples offered in todays market.PCGS Population: 12; 16 finer in this category (Proof-66+ Cameo finest).
