Description

1877 1C PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Bold N in ONE. The mintage figure for this key issue is debatable. Rick Snow's Guide Book suggests that although as many as 1,500 proofs may have been struck, 600 or so were destroyed or released for circulation. As a nearly Gem and nearly Red coin, this piece should satisfy many a collector's needs for a considerably smaller price than a Red Gem. Considerable contrast remains between the fields and devices, which show a scattered mix of pink, lilac, and brownish toning.
