1861 1 Cent. NGC PR66. In contrast to most proofs of the date, this copper-nickel specimen contains all the characteristic of a lovingly produced and stored proof. The fields, while not mirrored to the depth of many later issues, are smooth throughout with unmistakable reflectivity. The detail is needle-sharp with every feather of the Indian´s headdress being complete to the tip. The combination of these factors confirms what the eye will no doubt "second"; this is one of, if not the finest proof Indian cent produced in 1861. Neither NGC nor PCGS have designated an example finer. NGC Population: 5 in 66 (5/30/08)
