The Philadelphia Mint struck 813 cents in 1901 for inclusion in the year's silver Proof sets and 1,172 additional examples for the minor coin Proof sets for a total mintage of 1,985 pieces. Beginning with this issue and continuing though the series' end in 1909, the Mint prepared the dies for Proof Indian cents in such as a manner that both the fields and devices were polished, meaning that cameo-finish specimens are especially rare.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the March 2018 Baltimore Auction, where it realized $2,640.
