1876 Indian Cent, PR66 Red
Tied for Finest Graded

1876 1C PR66 Red PCGS. Much cameo contrast is present on this 1876 Premium Gem proof Indian cent, even if it is undesignated on the holder. The golden-orange surfaces are pristine and problem-free. The heavy die striations on the reverse are typical of proof for the year, the product of rough die polishing.

Population Data (7/14): The PCGS population of eight submissions or grading events in PR66 Red and none finer is unchanged from when we previously described this coin, more than seven years ago -- they just aren't making any more of these. NGC shows three in PR66 Red and none finer.

Heritage Commentary: The business strike 1876 Indian cents saw a comparatively low mintage of 7.9 million pieces, due no doubt to the ongoing "recoinage" efforts at the Mint. On the other hand, the proof cent mintage was larger than earlier and later years, estimated at 1,150 pieces, attributed to the anticipated greater demand due to the U.S. Centennial celebration.
