Glorious 1877 Cent, PR66 Red

1877 1C PR66 Red PCGS. The Bold N reverse, with a bulging right pennant on the T of CENT, along with the squared-off rims, sharp feather tips and ribbon diamonds, and contrasting fields and devices, all confirm this glorious coin as a no-questions, high-end proof of this in-demand key date. All of the proof coins of this issue were struck with the Bold N reverse, while the business strikes were struck with the Shallow N reverse. The mintage is unknown precisely, but the usual estimate is 900 coins.
This piece has fairly deep mirrors on each side, with wonderful sunset-orange obverse coloration that deepens on the reverse to brick-red, still well within the confines of a strict Red designation. Free of all but a few microscopic flecks, and certified in a green-label holder. Population: 11 in 66 Red, 2 finer (6/08).
