Lot 1505
1865 Indian Head Cent. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red & Brown. Nicely toned. Pop 61; 17 in 65RB; 3 in 66RB. Whatever arrangements in the toning Nature provides, it surely cannot surpass the lovely purples and blues of this radiant specimen. This is a very difficult date to find full red, but who cares, given the wealth of colors offered here. Like many other dates in this series, the rarity of 1865 struck in Proof format has no relation to the rarity of the regular issues. Non-Proofs are fairly common for this date. Not so for the Proofs. The mintage currently given in references is 500, which may be generous (PCGS # 2283) .
Estimated Value $500 - 550.
