1877-S AU 50 PCGS. A very rare and underappreciated issue, the 1877-S is of comparable scarcity to the 1876-S, but perhaps not quite as well known. At the AU 50 level, this piece is far above average for the issue with the average grade recorded by Akers as VF 25. This is an obviously original coin whose surfaces show deep reddish color on the reverse with accents of dull gray patina on the highpoints of the design elements. Well struck on the obverse but showing some softness on the eagle's plumage on the reverse. Minimally abraded.
