The 1876 is an average date (mintage and value) amongst this rare and important decade in the Indian Cent Series. While relatively common with brown color even in mint state, uncircualted red-brown are tough and and full-red gems are very diffiuclt to locate.
Obverse Description
A portrait bearing the likeness of a Native American in full headdress framed by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. The date is centered at the bottom under the portrait.
Reverse Description
The reverse bears the denomination of ONE CENT in the center surrounded by a wreath bearing a ribbon with arrows tied in at the bottom center.
