1909-S 1C VF30 Uncertified. The chocolate-brown color is interrupted only by a few tan streaks on the reverse. The unabraded surfaces have a hint of o

1909-S 1C MS64 Red PCGS. A terrific looking near-Gem example of this final year key, with strong definition throughout and just a whisper of mellowing

1909-S 1C MS65 Red NGC. Prior to producing its initial delivery of Lincoln Cents, the San Francisco Mint struck 309,000 Indian Cents in 1909. Only the

1859 1C PR65 PCGS. As a first-year issue that also represents a one-year type, the 1859 holds a place of honor in the hearts of the numerous collector

1860 1C PR65 PCGS. At and above the Gem level of preservation, the 1860 is the second rarest issue in the proof copper-nickel Indian Cent series. This

1861 1C PR64 PCGS. We do not know exactly how many specimen 1861 Indian Cents were originally produced, but the 2003 Guide Book estimate seems overly

1862 1C PR66 PCGS. Collectors who seek a stellar representative of the proof copper-nickel Indian Cent series need look no further than this lot. Pinp

1863 1C PR65 PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. One really needs to see this coin to appreciate the marked change in appearance that occurs as the surfaces r

1864 1C Copper-Nickel PR65 PCGS. We have handled quite a few stellar representatives of this final-year copper-nickel proof. One must not forget, howe

1864 1C Bronze PR64 Red PCGS. In the opinion of Ron Sirna, the 1864 Bronze is one of the rarest issues in the entire proof Indian Cent series. The aut

1866 1C PR65 Red PCGS. The 1866 is a conditionally rare early proof in the bronze Indian Cent series. The surfaces are carefully preserved with no sin

1867 1C PR65 Red PCGS. As an issue, the 1867 is more challenging to locate than the proof bronze Cents of 1864 and 1865. The rarity of the business st

1868 1C PR65 Red PCGS. Simply put, this date is difficult to acquire as a Gem, particularly when the collector insists that the luster be fully intact

1869 1C PR66 Red PCGS. The original mintage of the proof 1869 Cent is a not overly generous 600 or so pieces. This fact, however, does not fully expla

1870 1C PR65 Red PCGS. The 1870 is not quite as rare at the finer levels of preservation as most of the proof Indian Cents from the mid-to-late 1860s,

1871 1C PR65 Red PCGS. An elusive grade for the 1871 Indian Cent, and the finest that a collector could realistically hope to obtain for the proof del

1872 1C PR65 Red PCGS Cameo. A semi-key issue in business strike format, this proof 1872 is an important alternative for the Gem quality date collecto

1873 1C Closed 3 PR65 Red PCGS. Since they were struck early in the year, all proof 1873 Cents are of the Closed 3 variety. An analysis of surviving e

1875 1C PR65 Red PCGS. Most proof Indian Cents from the 1870s are more common than their counterparts from the preceding decade. This is not, however,

1877 1C PR66 Red PCGS. This is a date in the Indian Cent series that excites bidders regardless of the level of preservation of the example in questio

1878 1C PR66 Red PCGS. We are pleased to be offering multiple high grade representatives of this conditionally scarce proof issue. The coin in this lo

1879 1C PR66 Red PCGS. With a respectable original mintage of 3,200 pieces, the 1879 is probably the most common proof Cent from the 1870s. A strong c

1880 1C PR67 Red PCGS. Cherry-red and pale golden colors blend together over both sides of this completely original survivor. We are unable to find a

1881 1C PR66 Red PCGS. As one would expect for a specimen striking, both sides exhibit pinpoint definition from rim to rim. Medium colored, yet vibran

1882 1C PR66 Red PCGS. As a high mintage (3,100 pieces) proof Cent from the 1880s, the conditionally rare status of the 1882 might not be well known t

1883 1C PR65 Red PCGS. Along with the 1886 and 1888, the 1883 (6,609 pieces produced) is one of the most conditionally challenging dates in this proof

1884 1C PR66 Red PCGS. With full orange-red luster and needle sharp striking detail, this specimen would make a lovely addition to a premium quality t

1885 1C PR65 Red PCGS. The 1885 is a scarcer issue from the 1880s as only 11.7 million pieces were struck--the lowest production of the decade. This i

1886 1C Type Two PR64 Red PCGS. A hub change in 1886 resulted in two different varieties of the 1886 proof Indian Cent. Type Two examples, such as the

1887 1C PR64 Red PCGS. In December 2002, the 1887 had a lower PCGS-certified population in Red than any other proof Indian Cent with the exception of

1888 1C PR65 Red PCGS. While not quite as conditionally rare as the 1887, the 1888 is anything but common as a full Red Gem. Lustrous and original, bo

1889 1C PR65 Red PCGS. Precious few proof 1889 Cents have survived the passage of time with full mint luster and virtually distraction-free surfaces.

1891 1C PR65 Red PCGS. The 1891 is somewhat easier to obtain with intact luster than the preceding several issues in the proof Indian Cent series. Gem

1892 1C PR65 Red PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. The luster is original with competing swirls of pinkish-red and golden-orange hues draped over glistening

1893 1C PR66 Red PCGS. In an overall sense, the proof 1893 is roughly as common as the proof 1892. On the other hand, high quality survivors of the fo

1894 1C PR65 Red PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Medium orange luster blankets features that are boldly, if not sharply brought up in all areas. The numbe
