Description

Splendidly Toned 1877 Indian Cent
MS63 Red and Brown

1877 1C MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. This is a super piece that will delight both Indian Head cent enthusiasts and color aficionados. The centers boast milk-chocolate high points with considerable mint red interspersed around the devices, while the peripheries of each side exhibit splendid iridescent color, with violet, jade, and sunset-orange predominating. A single fleck of carbon is hidden on the hair just below the ribbon, and the strike, while good on the upper obverse, is a bit blunt on the lower obverse. This example is from Die Pair 1, with the 18 just touching and the usual clash mark on the reverse above the O in ONE. Expected spirited bidding on this piece.(Registry values: N2998)
