Few people who handle pennies every
day are aware of the rarity Of the one
rem piece of 1877. The coinage, a. re-
ported by the mint for that year, does
not appear small, for the mint year
ends June 80. and therefore does not
indicate how many of a coinage bear
the calendar year for the date. Thus,
the coinage for the year ending June
30. 1876. included half Of the year 1876,
and the coinage for the year ending
June 80. 1877, comprised half Of the
year 1877.
Business during 1871 was at a very
low ebb and little demand existed for
pennies. Few were minted, therefore.
while ia 1876 and 1878 the call was
urgent. IL is doubtful if the exact
number stamped 1877 is known ever

inquirer was informed by them in Feb
ruary, 1873, that less than 10. 600 had
