Snow PR-3. Currently in a PCGS "Net" graded holder noted as Questionable Color. This is clearly wrong, as it suggests a cleaning or artificial toning. This coin is original, however the Obverse color has been affected by some sort of environmental factor. The Obverse shows some light speckling which might be from minor moisture encountered while stored (this is not a fingerprint). As many of the Proofs from this period were stored wrapped in paper, this suggests that those wrappings got damp. Snow also notes a problem with the planchets used this year, most being a paler color and which toned easily, which might also suggest the source of the problem. The Reverse on the other hand is 100% what a Proof Red Indian Cent should look like. Otherwise no marks visible under normal magnification, and equivalent to at least a Proof 64 as far as a grade "number". Regardless of the "issues", not unattractive in its own way and still desirable given the availability of early Proof examples.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
