1869 Indian Cent. Proof-65 RD (PCGS). CAC. Gorgeous deep rose and autumn-orange colors greet the viewer from the surfaces of this expertly preserved Gem. Appreciably reflective in the fields, the design elements are satiny in texture with pinpoint striking detail. Not recorded at the time of issue, the mintage for the Proof 1869 Indian cent is unknown but usually estimated between 850 and 1,100 coins, although Rick Snow (2014) takes a more conservative view when he writes that only 600 or so were struck. Among the finest certified in the PCGS RD category, this inviting premium Gem would make a lovely addition to any collection.
