Description
1877 Indian Cent, MS66 Red and Brown
Tied for Finest Certified
1877 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. This coin was first offered
as lot 5423 in our February 2001 Long Beach Signature Sale, in
which catalog it was described: "Advanced Indian cent date
collectors often settle for a well preserved proof representative
of this prized 1870s issue. For those who have been patience,
however, we are proud to offer the present business strike. Nearly
abrasion-free, the surfaces display considerable original luster
that has acquired a deeply set, golden-orange color. Dappled
crimson-brown patina has accumulated on both sides, particularly on
the obverse over and around Liberty's portrait. There are a few
isolated areas of striking softness, none of which are unduly
bothersome." This coin is tied with only seven others as the finest
Red and Brown 1877 certified by NGC (8/10).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2284, PCGS# 2128, GSID# 1345)
