The Mint produced 1,150 silver Proof sets in 1876, a generous total for the era that reflects the expectation of heightened sales to contemporary collectors in connection with the United States' centennial. Eleven hundred and fifty Proof 1876 Indian cents were struck for inclusion in these sets, along with an unknown number of additional specimens for distribution as part of minor coin Proof sets. According to Rick Snow (2014): "This year's Proof issues are typically of average quality, with mirrors that are best described as medium. Wonderful examples do exist but these are the exception. PR1 has the highest quality dies and these were struck with [a reverse die] first used in 1872."

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the August 2012 Philadelphia ANA Auction, where it realized $2,239.
