 1877 Very Choice Brilliant Proof, on the cusp of fully Gem. Gleaming liquid-glass fields are edged in delicate peripheral gold, bold devices are razor-sharp and frosty white for bold contrast. With only 510 struck, this is the lowest post-Civil War Proof mintage and a desirable coin from any standpoint.
Ex Herman Halpern Collection (Stack's, May 1999, lot 2493).
