(About The Images)
1877 PF-60. 1877 PF-60.
Lot Title: 1877 PF-60.
Description: Allan indicates the equivalent Breen-2437 as 1877/18, and indeed, "1" in the date is slightly repunched north, and the lower inner loop of "8" is slightly doubled. PF-60 should be deemed a conservative grade, even though the surfaces exhibit quite a bit of yellowish patina and some grey spots on the reverse. 1877 is of course THE key to the proof three-cent nickel series except at the highest levels, and this obvious proof example is as sharply struck as they get. (PCGS# 003773)

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $1,200.00
High Estimate: $1,500.00

1877 (P01, plate coin) PCGS PF-65 (doily label).
1877 P01 RPD-001, Plate. The three-cent nickel series has a distinction whereby one cannot collect a complete set of sequential dates with circulation strikes only. A complete run with no gaps...

1877 NGC PF-66 CAMEO.

1877 PCGS PF-66CAM CAC.
Key to the proof series for three-cent nickels, the mintage in 1877 was only 510 pieces, which would lead to fame, glory and untold riches were this a more popular series. Sadly, three-cent nickels...

1877 PCGS PF-66.
In 1877, the mint struck only 510 proof three-cent nickels and no business strikes, making this perhaps the most elusive date overall in the series. Very rarely do beautifully toned examples come to...

1877 ANACS AU details/corroded/cleaned, Net PF-40.
Sporadic areas of spongy texture on the reverse confirm the "corroded" disclaimer, but the "cleaned" assertion is corroborated only barely by a slightly glossy appearance. Otherwise, this proof-only...

1877 NGC PF-65.
