1877. NGC graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. Nearly full red. Very few marks or problems. Housed in an Old Style Holder. Only 900 struck. Even though nearly one thousand Proofs were produced in this year, there is never a shortage of buyers because of the tremendous date pressure exerted by the scarcity of high grade business strike 1877 cents. The deep coppery to cherry-red surfaces on this piece show occasional glints of iridescence while the proof fields are nicely reflective. Pop 72; 18 finer, 17 in 66, 1 in 67.
