Exquisite 1877 Indian Cent Rarity

1877 1C MS 66 Red and Brown NGC. Advanced Indian cent date collectors often settle for a well preserved proof representative of this prized 1870s issue. For those who have been patient, 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. NGC and PCGS combined report only seven coins at the present grade level, and none are finer (11/00).
