1877 Indian Cent, MS64+ Red and Brown
Low-Mintage Key Date

1877 1C MS64+ Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Due to economic difficulties, nearly 10 million unneeded cents were returned to the Mint in 1877, most of which were then reissued in place of new coinage. The resulting low mintage of the 1877 cent makes it the scarcest of all business-strike Indian cent issues, and most extant pieces are well-worn. This satiny near-Gem retains much of its original coppery luster beneath rich burgundy overtones, and the surfaces are free of any noticeable imperfections. Some minor softness of strike is seen on the tips of select feathers and on the reverse bow, though the overall eye appeal is excellent for this key-date issue.
