***Auction Highlight*** 1877 Proof Indian Cent 1c Graded Gem+ Proof Rd Cam By USCG. The mintage of the 1877 proof cent is in dispute. Walter Breen in his Complete Encyclopedia gives a figure of 510+ produced. Research by R.W. Julian revised the estimate to 900. The 900+ figure given by David Bowers in his Flying Eagle and Indian Cent book is based on his contention that at least 1,500 were produced, with unsold pieces being destroyed or released into circulation.The present Gem Cameo offering is a simply beautiful specimen with fully original copper-orange color. The razor-sharp strike is far superior to that often seen on business strikes in this series, and the fields glow with an intense reflectivity that could only have been imparted by proof production methods. A great representative of the ever-popular 1877 Indian cent in proof format. I have included two other examples for your comparison. A PR65 RD CAM and a PR6 RD CAM. I think you will see ours is accurately graded PR65+ CAM. We have never before been able to offer the elusive 1877 PROOF, I wish you Luck in obtaining this first example we have brought to auction.\ A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
