- 1877 Indian Cent. MS-64 BN (NGC). The fabled circulation strike 1877 Indian cent, represented here by a highly desirable Choice Mint State example. Vivid cobalt blue and salmon-pink iridescence enlivens dominant steely-copper patina. Both sides are smooth and lustrous with sharp striking detail to virtually all design elements. With just 852,500 pieces produced, the 1877 has the lowest mintage among circulation strike Indian cents after only the final year 1909-S (309,000). The 1877 is rarer than the 1909-S in all grades, however, because it was made during an era in which most collectors were content to obtain a Proof. As a result, circulation strike 1877 cents were generally overlooked in their day, and most found their way into commerce, which generally meant several years of recycling between the Mint and banks. This issue is eagerly sought in all grades, both circulated and Mint State. The present example is a noteworthy condition rarity that numbers among the leading Indian cent highlights in this sale.
