Lot 1083		1877. NGC graded Proof 67 Red & Brown. Lovely red, rose and iridescent blue toning. Only 900 Proofs struck. Popular key date. Both business strike and Proof Indian cents of the key-date 1877 issue benefit from enormous collector interest and constant demand. Most Proofs tend to be in the Proof 63 to 65, with a few superior examples in Proof 66 categories. The same occurs on the business strikes with MS64 and MS65 predominating. Then there is this marvelous piece, a coin unique in its PR67 category among examples graded by NGC. It richly deserves its the Superb Gem grade. To put something of an anthropomorphic spin on things, the coin truly is boasting a full strike from the headdress feathers to all four diamonds on the ribbon end and a bold L. Justifiably so. No one who views it will disagree. The peripheral details, as well, are strictly razor-sharp, includiing the reverse details in the wreath, shield, and ONE CENT - all are unimpeachable. True to other Proofs, these have a bold N in ONE and EN in CENT. (For some reason business strikes show weakness here.) The fields gleam with lovely coppery red and brown highlights, gleaming with color, full to completeness with mirror reflectivity in the fields. Bowers' Indian cent guide explains that "the 1877 Proof Indian cent is a coin of incredible popularity and demand due to the overall rarity of the date (via related business strikes). Proofs are usually seen toned brown or red and brown, sometimes with a very attractive woodgrain effect." Let this be your guide when bidding. And come prepared for strong competition. Pop 1; none finer at NGC . Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $13,800

Lot 1093		1880. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red Cameo. A glittering bright Mint Red gem with some minor obverse flyspecks.

Lot 1094		1880. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. Lovely warm golden mint red colors. In the new PCGS shield plus holder. A blazing red gem of the finest order for its class. Intense mirror-smooth luster fairly leaps from the surfaces of this prize. One look at the present frosted gem will satisfy your curiosity as to why few examples of the date has been certified finer than the present coin. One would be hard put to find a more truly beautiful gem specimen of a popular Indian cent with not even a smidgen of softness on the hair or feathers, the shield or wreath.

Lot 1095		1881. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. Accompanied by an Eagle Eye certificate. Housed in an Old Green Holder. A lovely red coin. Vivid coppery shades of red and gold vie for dominance on this fresh and colorful gem. A frosty specimen with nary a sign of handling (or mishandling). Sharp detail on all devices is typical for this 1881 issue although business strikes aren't nearly as sharp as the Proofs; however, with present specimen we see a wonderful combining in the broad regions of crisp strike found on the devices with rare degrees of fresh red color. A remarkable coin. Pop 22; 4 finer in 67RD (PCGS # 2141) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1096		1882. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Lovely red colors. A blazing red gem of the finest order. Brilliant coppery centers give way to deepening shades of orange-gold near the rims. Soft-edged devices and lettering throughout the centers are typical on 1880's-decade Cents, as commonly seen; however, a small percentage of the production is found with enough convincing detail to be called "bold" and this is one such 1882 Cent!

The design type with the last feather pointing between the I & C of AMERICA. The few full red examples that exist often have a light gold tone, nearly straw colored and are not as impressive as the present specimen. Clearly, the grading service knows an original coin when they see it. This coin is an outstanding example! Pop 1; none finer at NGC. Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
