1907 One Cent PR BN Values
Details
The mintage drops to the lowest since the popular 1877 with 1,475 struck for the 1907 proof Indian Cent. Very common with the brown color designation. Gradually more scarce in red-brown especially in PR66 or finer. Red gems are rare and any cameo is rare as well. Seek out attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces. They are not very hard to find and worth the search.
Obverse: 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: 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.
