Most 1865 Proof cents are attributable as Snow-PR2, Rick Snow (2014) asserting that those dies likely accounted for the 500 examples that the Mint struck in February and March, 1865, for inclusion in the year's Proof sets. The author also states, "Additional pieces were undoubtedly struck, but probably not too many." If Snow is correct, the rare Snow-PR1 die marriage is a likely candidate for the additional Proof 1865 cents that the Mint produced for individual distribution.
