1868 One Cent PR BN Values
Details
With 600 coins struck, the 1868 Indian Cent is a much better date in its proof series. Scarce up to gem PR65 with high-end gems, red pieces and those with cameo surfaces being very rare. Beautifully toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces are the most desirable and worth the search.
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.
