Very Rare Cameo Proof 1902 Indian Cent
Outstanding Superb Gem
1902 Indian Cent. Snow-PR4. Repunched Date. Proof-67 RD Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
This is a truly exceptional survivor from an issue that, as a whole, was produced using universally polished dies. On the present example, the devices exhibit enough of a satin texture to offer appreciable contrast with highly reflective fields. Virtually pristine, both sides also offer full striking detail and outstanding vivid golden-orange and pinkish-red color. It is difficult for us to imagine a more appealing survivor from a mintage of 2,018 Proofs for the 1902 Indian cent.
Snow-PR4 is a minor Repunched Date for this issue, evidence for which is boldest within the upper loop of the digit 9.
Provenance: From the ESM Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Perfection 1 & 2 Collections, Part 2, February 2016 Long Beach Signature Auction, lot 3065.
