While reviewing the initial results in various categories of recent auctions, my initial take is that the sales were moderate to strong.
Popular key date, even as a proof. The proof mintage for the ever so scarce and desirable 1877 dated Indian Cent is 900 pieces struck. Very scarce in all brown grades with a gradual value increase in red-brown and red. Red gems and cameo pieces are extremely rare. Look for attractively toned brown pieces or blazing red surfaces as those are the most desirable and are not very difficult 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.
