1877 Indian Cent. MS-63 BN (PCGS).

Boldly toned medium copper surfaces show evenly overall. Uniformly sharp in strike throughout both sides, with a smooth and inviting appearance that would accept nothing less than a Choice Mint State rating. Though the 1909-S Indian cent owns the lowest production figure of any date in the series, the 1877 is far and away the key date of the design type and the most valuable of any regular-issue date in all stops across the grading spectrum. At MS-63 BN, as here, it still presents a modest challenge to collectors, and the attendant bidding activity should liven up the auction room during its brief appearance.

PCGS# 2127. NGC ID: 2284.

Ex Joseph J. Haney Collection.

Estimate: $ 4020
