The Mint produced 1,790 Proof cents in 1903, 755 of which were included in the year's silver Proof sets and the remaining 1,035 of which went into the two-piece minor coin Proof sets. Although multiple die pairings are known for the Proof 1901 and 1902, Snow (2014) has identified only a single variety for the Proof 1903. Together with the 1902, the 1903 Proof Indian cent is the most commonly-encountered certified issue with the Full Red designation. Cameos, as for most dates after 1901, are scarce.
