 1¢ 1908 Superb Gem Brilliant Proof and a simply amazing coin considering the fragile nature of copper coins such as this. Chisel-sharp definition, cameo devices, and full blazing mint color characterize this virtually flawless example. Even close examination with a glass reveals only microscopic, inconsequential defects. It is entirely unreasonable that this coin has survived in such pristine condition. In fact, there is a very strong likelihood that the presently offered coin is the finest Proof Cent extant of this date! A Proof mintage of 1,620 pieces is recorded for both the Cents and Nickels of this date.
