CAC 0249. Lot 1383, Spring 2022 Auction. “Endearing premium Gem quality with a silky smooth texture to fully impressed features. The obverse is aglow with vivid reddish-orange color, the reverse with softer, yet equally original deep rose. Bright, beautiful and exceptionally well preserved, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable survivor from a mintage of 3,942 Proofs for the 1884 Indian cent. Approximately 1,000 of these coins were sold to contemporary collectors as part of silver Proof sets, and many of the remaining coins went to dealers in Proof minor coin sets. PCGS Population: 2; 11 finer in this category (all Proof-67 RD). CAC Population: 6; 5. The former total includes coins graded both Proof-66 RD and Proof-66+ RD, by both PCGS and NGC.”
