need a population number, please

Hellion

Can anyone out there please give me the PCGS pop number for an 1891 Indian Cent in PR64 RB - Cameo? It's an NGC coin and according to there website it has a population of 2, with one better. I was just wondering what the PCGS number is.

Thanks for any help!

P.S. It was an early Christmas present from my wife. I think I'll keep her!!

Only one cameo for that year and it's a 65.

Hellion

Thanks for the info, Placid

i think only proof red coins within the indian cent series get a chance to be designated cameo as such

Hellion, Michael is correct.
I have been told by David Hall that PCGS will only give the "Cameo" designation to "RD" copper coins. I believe that this is silly, as there are many obvious cameo copper coins with red/brown color and even an occasional "brown" copper coin that displays cameo contrast.

thanks mark also for me there are many nice really nice cameo coins in proof red broewn holders that are cameo but do not get the dssignation and a few brown ones also! i have seen many many red brown cameo coins in proof

but currently the graqding services only consider red ones for the cameo designation

maybe they think that the coins might turn eventually closer to ree brown and broan and lose the cameo?

for me i would grade all indian proof cents cameo if they were a cameo but for a red brown and especcially so for a brown it would have to have cameo plus contrast both sides to gwet the designation

like a no brainer cameo that anyone could see

unless you were extremely thick

This one is in a NGC holder; PF64 RB - Cameo. Their website lists their population numbers (for free). They show 2 in 64 RB Cameo and 1 in 65 RB Deep Cameo. Considering those pop. numbers, the Cam/Deep Cam may be something they just started doing.

Hellion and Michael ,

NGC uses the "cameo" designation for RB and BN coins, along with RD ones.
PCGS, on the other hand, only uses it for RD coins.

wow ngc does the cameo for rb and brn i learn something new everyday! i think that is a smart move on their part
