I’ve been searching for a nice 1877 IHC in Ms-65 RB for a few years. David Lawrence auctions had one that caught my eye. It’s graded PCGS Ms-65 RB with an Eagle Eye & CAC sticker. I really liked the color. The auction format was new to me since it was internet only. I usually phone in my bids and get a play by play from an on-site rep. During the auction the bidding time gets extended if there are late bids. It’s better for the seller but can be a little nerve wracking.
I’m quite pleased with the coin. As a bonus my new Marriott credit card earned me a free nights stay because of the purchase.

Wow! Killer!

Superb example of the key. Congrats!
Congrats! I'm also not a fan of the 3 minute time extension for bidding.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
That is probably the nicest MS65s I’ve even seen. Gorgeous 1877. Well done!!!
Dave
One hell of a nice piece if I may say so!

Consignors, on the other hand, love it when the auction gets extended once, twice, or more! I recently lost out on an extended auction (non-numismatic). Happy seller.
That is a nice piece of copper!

Wonderful key date example. Congratulations.
Real nice key date!
Yes I ran across that gorgeous piece as I was going through their material.
WOW!!!!!!!
That coin is a knockout beauty.

Nice coin, dude! RB? Why? Should have been a RD.

It’s definitely a premium RB but the red has mellowed too much, IMO, for 95% RD.

That's a beauty. You could not have done better. WOW!!!!!
PCGS liked it
Rick liked it
JA liked it
BUT ........ I think you should still send it to me for final approval.
The color is nowhere close to “RD”. But the coin looks unusually clean and attractive, even considering the grade.

Great looking key date. I love the look.
“NICE! If I remember correctly you had an exceptionally nice MS63 example- if so, nice upgrade.”
You have a good memory! I still have the MS 63 that I bought from Rick Snow @Denver ANA show.
Awesome Key!!!
Congratulations on filling a HUGE slot!!!

Nice pickup. Like the obv. L-R dark to light. And even color on the rev. When you spend your evening at the Marriott take the 77 along with you, and no funny business.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Nice smooth surfaces and original color
Great looking coin! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like CAC Gold to me - congrats!
