1877 1¢. Gem Brilliant Proof. An exquisite strike is the first of this coin's many attractions. Extensive mint red lingers on the glass-smooth surfaces along with a complement of light brown, both contrasting with a delightful sheen of tantalizing blue. One of 900 Proofs struck of this most sought-after Indian Cent date, almost as difficult to locate in higher Mint State grades as it is in Proof.
