1864 1C COPPER NICKEL PR65 CAM PCGS CAC EEPS

The 1864 1C Copper-Nickel CAM is a sharply executed Proof from the final year of copper-nickel Indian cent production, a brief and historically significant alloy that would be replaced by bronze later that same year. With a tiny mintage of just 370 pieces—the lowest in the copper-nickel Proof series—this issue is elusive in all grades and genuinely rare in Gem and Cameo format. The last CAC PR65 realizing $4,800 02/22 HA, and a typical PR65 CAM PCGS CAC would cost approximately the same. This example displays the fully mirrored fields, needle-sharp strike definition, and pronounced contrast expected of true Cameo production, with Liberty’s portrait standing out boldly against the reflective surfaces. The color is a classic copper-nickel blend of medium golden-tan. Together, both sides demonstrate well-preserved surfaces, coherent toning, and the strong visual appeal expected of a high-end Proof from this exceptionally low-mintage issue.
