Lot 2426
1859 Indian Head Cent. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. Nicely toned. Only 800 Proofs struck. A fresh and attractive specimen with choice luster and natural toning on both sides. Somewhat finer than typically seen for the scarce Proof date, a one-year Proof, for that matter, with really decent design details at the feathers and on the laurel wreath. (Laurel leaves would give way to an okay wreath the next year.) Pop 16; 14 finer.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400.
