Lot 240		1885 Indian Head Cent. NGC graded Proof 68 Brown. Here is a wonder coin, the grade says it all, PF-68! How many of these exist, just a single coin in the brown category.

At the base of the reverse, there is a hot magenta area below the wreath, while the balance is the same blue-brown over mirror fields. The strike is perfect, to be sure, with no signs of weakness. As to marks, we could only locate one tiny one above the E in ONE, which apparently kept this from an even higher grade. Free of all but the most minute signs of handling, and no spots to speak of.

Note the sublime surfaces, the perfectly preserved splendor the encompasses all an Indian Cent can be. Fiery orange-red toning that shows slight mellowing, just enough to keep this from the "Red" classification. No signs of spots in the fields, and just a hint of handling on Liberty's neck. Fully struck, and perfectly preserved.This is the finest graded by NGC (along with the PF-68 Brown also in this sale) there are no others that grade this high, and there are no others graded higher by that service. If you demand one of the finest known wonder coins for your collection, then take your pick, a superb brown example or this mind boggling red-brown example. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
