1866 Indian Cent. Proof-65 RD Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This lovely specimen exhibits splashes of pale pinkish-rose to otherwise golden-copper surfaces. Fully impressed and expertly preserved, this coin would greatly enhance any collection in which it is included. Writing in the 2014 reference <em>The Flying Eagle & Indian Cent Attribution Guide: 1856-1877</em>, Rick Snow confirms the status of this Gem as both a strike and condition rarity. The author states for the Proof 1866 that, "....true gem examples are quite scarce. Early die states with cameo contrast are very scarce and can be quite spectacular." Words that are certain to resonate with advanced collectors specializing in this extremely popular small cent series.
