Proof Indian Cents
1859 1C PR66 NGC. The Mint reported a production of 800 proofs during the first year of the Indian Head cent series, but Rick Snow believes about half that number was actually sold and even fewer survive. Two die pairs were used, this being the second and usually seen variety with deep mirrors and striations near the date. Pale almond-gold with attractive violet, blue, and russet accents. Census: 20 in 66 (1 in 66★), 2 finer (6/17).
