History

1877 saw the inauguration of Rutherford B. Hayes as the 19th President of the United States. His election was contentious, with the Compromise of 1877 eventually settling the disputed presidential election of 1876 in his favor.

While coins were also minted by the Philadelphia Mint and Carson City Mint, their combined production amounted to just over 440,000 coinsnearly a million less than those minted in San Francisco.
