1865 1C PR65 Red PCGS. All proofs of the 1865 Indian Cent display a Plain 5 in the date, and many examples were struck from a die that Mint personnel prepared with a defective digit punch. Those coins, the present example included, display a small spur from the upper right curve of the 8 in the date. The 1865 (approximately 500 pieces struck) is a scarce coin with full Red luster, particularly at the Gem level of preservation. This is a lovely specimen with glowing orange-red coloration and fully brought up devices. Glassy reflectivity is readily evident as the surfaces rotate under the light, but one would be hard pressed to find more than one or two inconsequential blemishes. This is only the second PCGS-certified Gem Red proof 1865 Indian Cent that we have handled in at least ten years. Population: 9 in 65 Red, with just one finer (10/02).From the Joseph P.
