Description

1877 Indian Head Cent, AU53
Famous Key Date

1877 1C AU53 PCGS. The obverse features a wonderful woodgrain texture of mustard and chocolate-brown, where the latter color more uniformly covers the reverse. Abrasions are minimal, as is striking weakness. The 1877 is, of course, the key date in the Indian Head Cent series, with a mintage of only 852,500 coins, the lowest among Philadelphia issues.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2284, PCGS# 2127, Greysheet# 1344)

Weight: 3.11 grams
