1865 1c PR RD

This date is scarce considering the mintage is only 500, which is far below average for the Indian Cent Series. Very scarce in all grades up to the finest of gems that are quite rare. Cameo pieces are extremely rare in any grade you can find one in. Look for attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces as those are the most desirable and are not too hard to find.
