1871 1C PR64 RD PCGS GOLD CAC EEPS

The 1871 Indian Head Cent is an exceptional Proof striking graded PR64 RD by PCGS and certified with a coveted Gold CAC sticker, signifying quality far above the assigned grade, and further distinguished by an Eagle Eye Photo Seal (EEPS). From a tiny mintage of just 960 pieces, this coin is the sole example to earn Gold CAC approval at its level (CAC Gold Pop: 1/0), underscoring its remarkable preservation and premium eye appeal. Both sides blaze with original Red luster. The mirrored fields display strong reflectivity and a smooth, glasslike texture that sharply contrasts with the frosted design elements, while Liberty’s portrait shows fully realized feather detail and the reverse wreath and shield are boldly defined from a precise Proof strike. No hits are seen, and you can clearly without the GOLD CAC see that it is under-graded. No doubt a 66 in our opinion, which a CAC PR66 RD would cost $10,000 today.
