Varieties:
One reverse die used on an 1875
Cent was given a mark of some sort as an anti-theft device. As of 2001,
no such coin has been discovered, although a low grade piece has been
found that shows a "an irregular raised prominence in the field to the
right of the E in ONE, about two-thirds of the way to the level of the top
of the letter; this prominence in the field is about 40% of the distance
from the right side of the E to the nearby wreath."

Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.'s "Benson Collection, Part
I", February 16, 18-20, 2001, lot 1112, illustrated, where it was
described as follows: "…One of the few coins in the "Margene Heathgate"
collection where a high quality PR65RD was not available. This coin is
high end for the grade with frosted devices, spotless surfaces and
moderate mirrors, as is typical for this issue. This is a very tough date
in gem full red.
This is a year where the production of proofs was not given the quality
control seen in other years. Every denomination in the proof set is hard
to find in the higher grades due to this lack of quality standards. For
years they were unknown in PR65RD. A few are now known, but it is perhaps
because the grading services lowered their expectations due to the quality
of extent examples.", sold for $3,450.00
