Owner's Comments

MS65RB, Die 1, Fully Proof-like, First Strike, Die Stage A/A, PS. Perhaps the most interesting 1877 cent there is. I waited at least five years to buy this coin and then I waited another 8 months to get it crossed equivalently from NGC. It is the ONLY mint-state 1877 seen to date WITHOUT the reverse die clash above the O in ONE that essentially defines the reverse of both die pairings of this issue. Fully brilliant and at least ninety percent red. Actually looks full red under the light. Thanks Rick Snow for this wonderful unicorn of a coin.
