Description

1870 Indian Cent. Proof-65 BN (PCGS). CAC.
Otherwise all-encompassing deep lilac-copper patina yields to faded orange mint color at the upper reverse border and, more significantly, over the lower right obverse. Well mirrored in the fields with smartly impressed devices, this is a very nice survivor from a mintage of 1,000 or so Proofs. Worthy of the strongest bids. All Proof 1870 cents are of the Shallow N reverse hub variety, their dies made early in the year before the Mint adopted the Bold N hub.
PCGS# 2297. NGC ID: 229N.
PCGS Population: 7; 2 finer in this category (both Proof-66 BN). CAC Population: 1; 1.
From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.

Estimate: $850
