1886 1C Type Two PR65 Red Cameo PCGS
<B>1886 1C Type Two PR65 Red Cameo PCGS.</B></I> Ex: Palm Beach. The 1886 issue saw a subtle shift in the design of the Indian cent that involved slight rearrangement of the feathers in the headdress. On pre-1886 coins and examples from earlier in that year, the lowest feather points between the I and C of AMERICA; on later pieces, it points between the C and A. Among proofs, the latter variety forms a tiny minority.<BR> This recently certified specimen does not appear in the PCGS <I>Population Report</B></I> as of (12/07), but when it does, it will be the finer of just two pieces with a Cameo designation for the Variety 2 subtype. The fields are lemon-gold with hints of orange, while distinct rose-orange accents visit the portrait. Both sides offer pleasing contrast, excellent preservation, and wonderful eye appeal. Arguably the most important 1886 Type Two proof cent on the market today.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
