1862 One Cent PR Values
Details
The 1862 Proof Indian Cent comes from the smallest mintage thus far in the series. Scarce up to the gem range, which gradually gets tougher to find, up to the finest gems which are quite rare. Cameo pieces are very scarce and deep cameos are extremely rare as just a handful exist.
Obverse: A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse: The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
