Description

1877 1C PR64 Red Cameo PCGS. Stunning field-motif contrast shows on both faces of this near-Gem, fully Red Cameo. Golden-orange color is interspersed on the reverse with wisps of crimson, and a well executed strike leaves no design element incomplete. There are no mentionable contact marks; a few tiny, inoffensive obverse flecks likely limit the grade.
The actual 1877 proof mintage is unknown. Walter Breen in his Proof Encyclopedia suggested a mintage of 510+ coins, but research by Robert Julian revised the estimate to 900, the figure appearing in the 2008 Guide Book. Population: 4 in 64 Red Cameo, 4 finer (11/07).
