1877 Proof-65 RB NGC.
This beautiful Proof cent is undeniably choice for the grade, and one glance will prove our premise. More satiny than reflective, this beauty is soft rose red on the obverse with whispers of faint blue iridescence throughout the field and on the frosted central portrait. The reverse has deepened to rose-brown with more noticeable blue highlights. Close-in examination detects a virtually imperceptible mark on Miss Liberty’s neck, otherwise your diligent search is in vain on both sides. Though many consider the number of Proofs of the date struck – 900 pieces according to the Guide Book – a figure that allows for easy acquisition, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The preceding year, 1876, saw a Proof cent emission of 1,150 pieces, and in the following year, 1878, the number of Proofs struck was 2,350, a Proof production tally that increased in number nearly every year remaining in the series. Demand is also great from Indian cent enthusiasts who need the key-date 1877 in high grade. Proofs are often purchased by collectors, as obtaining a Mint State 1877 cent can be a big financial decision owing to its prominent rarity – and value -- in Uncirculated grades. With the immense popularity of the Indian cents discipline, the available population of this date becomes thinner every time a collector takes an example out of the marketplace for inclusion in an advanced Indian cent collection. If this date is on your want list-wish list, and you are willing to “settle” for a Gem Proof, you will do well to examine this remarkable coin! We predict lots of action at hammer time.

NGC Census: 68; 19 finer (Proof-67 finest) within the RB designation. There are 23 finer when you tally the BN and RD examples of the date.
