1877 1C Indian Cent - Type 3 Bronze PCGS XF45BN (CAC)

This key date issue is so grossly overgraded most of the time that I never want to purchase the coins offered to me.  Happily, this particular coin is welcome exception to the problem!  Strong diamond and feather definition. Lovely, glossy brown surfaces are spot and mark-free.  Just a little rub on the ribbon and high points is all that keeps this piece from a higher grade classificiation.  Nicer than most coins I see graded even up to AU-55!--NO JOKE!
