Near-Gem 1877 Indian Cent, A Desirable Proof Specimen

1877 1C PR 64 Red and Brown PCGS. Although this issue's original mintage of approximately 900 pieces is comparable to many other proof Indian cents of the era, the scarcity of the business strike 1877 attaches special importance to attractive survivors such as the present near-Gem. The outward appearance of this coin is one of olive-brown color, but the surfaces reveal orange-red luster around the borders at certain angles. Colorful lilac undertones are also noted in the centers. A sharply defined example whose surfaces are at the threshold of an even higher grade.
From the Stuart C. Gibbons Collection.
