The wreath is a vivid rose color on the right oak leaves with purple on the olive leaves near the base and left oak leaves. Fascinating. Color photo.

Lot 1162
1899. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red. This is a beautiful deep mirror gem. The fields exhibit an extensive "orange peel" look that is seen only on the earliest die state pieces. When the die is polished in its softened state it takes on a much deeper polish. Upon hardening the metal contracts slightly making the once mirrored field a bit wavy, similar to the ripples on an orange peel.
Estimated Value $2,500-2,750.

Lot 1165
1900. NGC graded MS-67 Red. Superb! Here is a real gem without any noticeable marks or blemishes. Although this date is lumped into the common date category by price editors, it actually is a very tough date in high grade. That aside, any Indian Cent in this grade is rare. We expect to see spirited bidding for this coin. 2 graded by NGC, none higher. PCGS has 1 other graded, none higher..
Estimated Value $3,000-3,500.

Lot 1166
1900. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. This example exhibits a full red obverse and a full brown color with purple highlights on the reverse. A small stain on the neck of the portrait is the only noticeable impairment. In a first generation PCGS slab.

Estimated Value $40-60.

Lot 1168
1901. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. This is a beautiful deep mirror gem. Indian cents with the look of this coin are very few and far between. This is not a common date in the proof series. In the early 1900's.
Estimated Value $1,000-1,100.

Lot 1169
1901. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. This example is a super gem with outstanding luster and great strike. Although considered a common date, Indian cents of this caliber are hardly common.
Estimated Value $800-900.

Lot 1170
1901. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red & Brown. A blazing gem example with fiery, orange-red colors on the obverse and rich, red iridescence on the reverse. A few scattered flyspecks are noted on the obverse, but only under magnification. Small whitish spot at RI of AMERICA, perhaps the reason this isn't a 67.
Estimated Value $700-800.

Lot 1171
