Gorgeous set. I love the colors that the Indian head proofs have. Extremely attractive and unique to that set of coins.

I just came upon this topic, and I'm amazed at the beautiful proofs on display here! As some other commenters have mentioned, I find the coloring on some of toned proof Indian Head cents to be absolutely spectacular. The electric blues, magentas, and other colors can just look fabulous on a nice proof example, and gives such individual character to each coin.

@Hokie, don't start another collection until you finish the fractionals

Is that 1871 a proof? If it is, it is a very scarce subvariety with a bold N reverse. I can't tell from the pics, but it doesn't look like your other proofs as far as surfaces go.

@RedRaider Yes, it is a proof. PCGS PR Genuine Tooled AU-Detail. This one made it into circulation for a bit.
