The 1880 proof was struck in approximately 3,955 proofs, continuing the expanded proof production of the post-depression era. The higher proof numbers reflect an established collector market that absorbed larger quantities without depressing individual-coin values. Proof Indian Head cents from the 1880s are among the most available in the series.
