1859 1C PR65 NGC. The popularity of this issue stems from several factors. First, the 1859 is the premier issue in the long-lived and widely collected Indian Cent series. Second, it is a one-year type, the only to display a laurel wreath on the reverse. Finally, the 1859 is rare as a proof, with many of the 800 coins originally delivered having been melted as unsold at year's end. An attractive and original survivor, both sides of this smooth Gem are fully brought up over all design elements. The obverse displays warm honey-tan color while the reverse is overlaid in delicate olive-tan patina. We last offered a PR65 NGC representative of this key date proof Indian Cent as lot 5195 in our June 2002 Long Beach Signature Sale. That coin traded hands for $3,565, buyer's premium included. Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour. Sometimes eBay Premier live bid software cannot keep up with that pace, so we strongly recommend that you place a realistic proxy bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Also please note that all Heritage/CAA lots purchased through eBay Premier carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions.
