1870 Indian Cent. Proof-65 BN (PCGS). CAC.
Otherwise all-encompassing deep lilac-copper patina yields to faded orange mint color at the upper reverse border and, more significantly, over the lower right obverse. Well mirrored in the fields with smartly impressed devices, this is a very nice survivor from a mintage of 1,000 or so Proofs. Worthy of the strongest bids. All Proof 1870 cents are of the Shallow N reverse hub variety, their dies made early in the year before the Mint adopted the Bold N hub.
