1877 Indian Head Cent AG-3 PCGS
The 1877 Indian Head Cent represents one of the most elusive entries in this long-running United States copper series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this particular year saw a remarkably small production run of only 852,500 pieces. This low output makes the 1877 issue the second scarcest date in the entire run of Indian Head cents, generating immense interest among numismatic enthusiasts who study the era. On the obverse, the design by James Longacre presents a profile of Liberty wearing a traditional Native American feather headdress. The reverse of the coin displays a detailed oak wreath that encircles the central denomination of one cent. This example is certified in Almost Good 3 condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that circulated widely during the late nineteenth century.
