Outstanding 1877 Cent, MS65 Red and Brown

1877 1C MS65 Red and Brown NGC. The 1877 Indian cent's mintage of 852,000 pieces is many multiples below nearly all other issues in the series. Although the 1909-S does have a lower mintage, the 1877 has a poor rate of survival, which makes it the undisputed key of the series. While it is scarce in any grade, it is a rare delight to see a Gem specimen. This outstanding representative features intermingled red and brown on each side, with alluring lustrous fields throughout. The strike is nearly full, and the only noticeable weakness is on the tips of the first few feathers. A virtually pristine and incredibly appealing example of this popular key.
