1877 1C MS65 RB OGH PCGS GOLD CAC

The 1877 Indian Head cent is one of the most famous and key-date coins in the entire Indian Head series. This MS65 RB example housed in an Old Green Holder, graded by PCGS and further distinguished by a Gold CAC sticker, represents a truly elite survivor with exceptional quality for the grade. The coin displays a glistenning sharply struck near perfect example. Rich original color blends warm copper-gold surfaces with subtle rose and violet accents, producing the attractive nearly fully Red example. The combination of the desirable OGH holder and the Gold CAC endorsement signals no doubt this is one of the best 1877 Indian Head Penny regardless of designation. With a CAC Gold population of just 1 coin and none finer, this piece represents a remarkable opportunity for the advanced Indian Head cent specialist or high-end type collector seeking exceptional quality and eye appeal in this iconic key date issue. Stewart Blay's MS66+ RD PCGS CAC example realized over $340,000 3 years ago as the single finest. A single ms66+ brown example exists that has a Price Guide of $45,000, and no MS66+ RB exists. Safe to say we feel confident in calling this example at least a MS66+ RB but very close to RD.
