<B>1861 1C PR64 PCGS.</B></I> Richard Snow (2006) writes: "This is the key date in the Proof series, partly due to low mintage (estimated 1,000 pieces), but also because of poor quality of the dies and poor striking quality." A well directed strike translates into sharp detail on the design features of this near-Gem, and copper-gold surfaces yield some field-motif contrast. A few trivial handling marks prevent full Gem status. Population: 44 in 64, 20 finer (7/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
