About this coin
The Anchor of Indian Head Copper Offered here is a completely original, choice circulated example of the legendary 1877 Indian Head Cent. Featuring a tiny total mintage of just 852,500, the 1877 is the single most sought-after regular-issue cent of the 19th century.
This coin features attractive, deep chocolate surfaces, full intact rims on both sides, a bold clear date, and clean, problem-free eye appeal with zero environmental corrosion or cleaning. Fully authenticated against die pickup points (including the shallow-hub reverse typography). A stellar candidate for grading submission or immediate placement in a high-grade album.
This example is a textbook representation of an original, problem-free circulated key date. It displays a rich, deep chocolate-brown patina with completely smooth fields, clean rims, and no traces of harsh cleaning, corrosion, or micro-pitting. The obverse showcases a sharp, fully legible 1877 date and complete outer rims, with "LIBERTY" partially visible across the headband. On the reverse, the oak wreath and shield remain well-defined, complemented by strong vertical lines and crisp central typography.
