1859. NGC graded Proof 65. Lovely golden toning with a hint of added iridescense on the reverse. A well struck and beautifully preserved Gem that has a reflective sheen to it, with gorgeous appearance overall. Interestingly, the 1 in the date seems to be shorter than the other numerals, although this may be an optical illusion. There are no planchet imperfections nor spots seen anywhere on the piece. The Indian (actually, Liberty wearing a decorative feathered headpiece in the form of an Indian headdress) is in cameo relief against the mirror field. A desirable one-year Type. Designed by James Barton Longacre, the Indian cent made its debut in 1859. This initial delivery displayed a simple reverse design with the denomination ONE CENT inside a laurel wreath. Since Longacre's oak wreath and shield motif was adopted in 1860, the 1859 has become doubly important as a one-year type. Only 800 Proofs struck. Pop 33; 19 in 66; 2 in 67. Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. Categories:
