The 1883 is the ultimate type coin with a large proof mintage of 6,609 pieces struck. Brown examples are common through the gem level with some scarcity in PR66 and PR67. Same goes for red-brown coins. Full Red color and especially cameos start to get rare at the PR65 mark. Look for attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces as those are the most desirable and are not too tough to find.
Obverse Description
A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description
The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
