The 1877 Indian Cent is a famous key date known and appreciated throughout the Numismatic community. All 1877's come from one single reverse die and a mintage of just 852,500 (second lowest) which is very low for the series. It is scarce and collectible in all grades even the poorest of them. High-end VF's through low-end AU's are very scarce. Nice AU's into Mint State are rare and the finest gems, especially red ones, are extremely rare.
Obverse Description
A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description
The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
