SPECTACULAR ERROR: Reverse rotated 173º, well within the official Mint tolerance for medallic alignment (165º to 180º). Very rare error on Indian cents. Some dealers add a huge premium but we did not add any.

PCGS said BN but obverse is 75% original red. But reverse is brown albeit with faint rainbow hues. Fields far more deeply mirrored than most. Boldly struck. Very few and light marks for PR64BN.
Non-doctored, unlike many proof Indian cents in "problem free" PCGS slabs. Could easily upgrade after professional conservation (removal of two obverse specks) but we prefer originality over profit.
Tiny 600 mintage, lowest from 1868 to today! And some of those few were spent, melted, lost, buried, mutilated, thrown into fountains, etc. Many tallied in the population reports are resubmissions or crossovers of the same coins.
The number one key date in proof from 1868 to today, mintage-wise tied with 1869). Vastly undervalued as such especially with the astonishing inverted reverse mint error. Would surely be the centerpiece of many a coin collection.
