[QUOTE="Shag, post: 3042052, member: 93338"]1859-1C Proof Coin. This will probably be my greatest find, didn't really find it or know what I was looking for, just in a coin collection my friend inherited that I am trying to help with. I posted earlier about a 1859 1C Indian Head Cent. I had no idea it was a proof coin when I submitted it to PCGS. I just thought It looked good and would receive a good grade. After it came back as a proof coin I looked at coin facts and found out that only 800 of the coins were minted that year and and about half of them still exist today. I was very excited at that time and still excited about the coin. Yes it would be great if the coin was extremely valuable, but it is not, that does not change the fact that I am still very excited about this coin. I really don't know if the coin would be considered rare, but to me it is very interesting and rare. Going to try to post a link to the post. Hope it works.
