The 1872 Indian cent claims a mintage of just over 4 million pieces. Many examples were struck from planchets made from re-melted coins of earlier years and the quality of these blanks was uneven. Many examples show streaks due to improper alloy mix and the issue is often seen with a weak strike. Richard Snow believes the 1872 is the most difficult issue of the series to find in high grade, outside of the famous 1877.
The PCGS population is 17 with 6 graded higher, 4 of the latter being MS65+ examples.
