Lot 1317
1877 Indian Head Cent. NGC graded MS-65 Red & Brown. A gorgeous well struck gem. A lustrous beauty exhibiting shades of light reddish and golden-brown hues. Popular Key Date to the Indian Head series. The surfaces are bathed in color while the surfaces are simply outstanding, with none of the usual specks or spots that plague the early Indian Cent Proofs. Struck with all the force needed to bring up the devices, and with enough polish on the dies to impart the desired satiny look on Liberty and the wreath. Precious few can compare with this stunning Gem. Any numismatist worthy of the name would be proud to own this coin. As the key date to the series interest in the Proof specimens has strong since many collectors are unable to locate a suitable business strike of this date. At this grade level, not many are around. Pop 74; 8 in 66 RB.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
