Description

Warm Red 1877 Cent, MS65

1877 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Ex: Richard Collection. Struck from the Type One reverse with the N in ONE shallowly impressed. The Mint experienced a shortage of copper in 1877, which resulted in a limited mintage of only 852,500 pieces struck in this year. While the 1909-S has an even lower mintage, the 1877 is universally regarded as the undisputed key to this widely collected series. Well, but not fully struck in all areas, the surfaces display rich red luster over each side with a light speckling of brown in the left obverse field. An outstanding Red Gem. Population: 22 in 65, 6 finer (12/07).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2284, PCGS# 2129, Greysheet# 1346)

Weight: 3.11 grams

Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & Zinc
