The Mint produced 700 Proof cents in 1875 for distribution as part of the year's silver Proof sets. How many additional coins may have been struck for individual sale or as part of minor coin Proof sets was not recorded by the Mint. Interestingly, and unlike many of its contemporaries in the Proof Indian cent series, the 1875 was produced using at least four obverse and three reverse dies in four marriages. Snow-PR1 exhibits a faint die line in the denticles below the digit 8 in the date and a minor hubbing defect on the ribbon after the letter Y in LIBERTY. The reverse die is the same that the Mint first used in 1872, identifiable by a bulging right pennant on the letter T in CENT.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the August 2012 Philadelphia ANA Auction, where it realized $2,585.
