Bright 1877 Cent, MS66 Red and Brown

1877 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Well known as the key to the Indian Head cent series, the 1877 cent enjoys constant demand. When found in Mint State grades at all, it usually comes with at least a degree of brown color, and very few exceed MS65. At MS66 Red and Brown, this is one of the finest examples available. Predominantly red in color, the brown referred to in the designation appears to be limited to some of the higher points of the design. The strike is strong, with all four diamonds visible and the L on ribbon bold, although the diagnostic weakness in the denomination is noted. A few ticks appear to be the only thing separating this coin from an even higher grade. The major grading services have never certified a coin of this date in a finer grade, regardless of designation. Census: 8 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (12/07).
