At a mintage as high as 3,100, the 1882 proof Indian Cent makes for a fantastic type coin. Brown pieces are common along with red-brown with only the finest gems being scarce. Full red gems are scarce as well, with the finest ones being very rare. Any grade with a cameo is scarce, at a minimum, with high Mint State grades being rare. Look for beautifully toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces as those are highly sought after and not too difficult to find.
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.
