1888 1C PR66 Red Cameo PCGS.
1888 1C PR66 Red Cameo PCGS. The passage in Snow's 1992 reference reads: "Carelessly made as in 1887." This particular piece shows little evidence of carelessness, however, with each side having bright, even golden-red coloration and a significant overlay of mint frost on the devices that gives the coin a significant cameo contrast against the well-mirrored fields. The only evidence of so-called "carelessness" is a tiny lintmark on the Indian's cheek that was probably caused by a thread that adhered to the die or planchet after having been wiped prior to striking. The present coin is currently one of only two 1888 Cents certified by either PCGS or NGC as either Cameo or Deep Cameo, and its importance as such cannot be underestimated.From the Palm Beach Collection. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
