1877 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC. The 1877 is the rarest
<B>1877 1C MS66 Red and Brown NGC.</B></I> The 1877 is the rarest date of the Indian Head cent series. Richard Snow, in his 2006 treatise on <I>Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents,</B></I> states: "...the purported original mintage of this date (852,500 business strikes) appears to be way too high compared to the number of observed surviving examples. An upper estimate of 200,000 coins struck seems more accurate." This Premium Gem Red and Brown example displays lustrous surfaces with pleasing copper-gold color. Close examination reveals no significant abrasions or unsightly spots. The design elements are generally well impressed, with about two-thirds of the detail showing in the three lower diamonds. Census: 8 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (10/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
