The high mintage Proof 1880 Indian cent was produced to the extent of 3,955 coins, and Rick Snow (2014) reports five die marriages among survivors. Snow-PR1, shares its obverse with PR2, and it is a minor Repunched Date with repunching at the base of the digit 1 and at the upper left of the second digit 8 in the date. In addition, the second digit 8 is broken at its base from a defective punch. The reverse of Snow-PR1 is attributable by the presence of several raised die lines on the letter O in ONE.
