The 1875 comes from a relatively lower mintage of 700. Scarce only as a high-end gem with brown color. Otherwise, it is quite common. The same applies to examples with red-brown surfaces with scarcity starting at PR65; full red examples are more scarce. Only rare if there are cameo surfaces. Attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces as those are very desirable and worth the search.
Obverse Description
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 Description
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.
