I understand that the weakness in the "N' of 'ONE' is common. Could a specialist in Indian Head cents explain the reason for this? (NICE rare coin!)

Here's an excerpt from my guide... All 1877 Indian cents struck for circulation are found with the Shallow N die. These are believed to have been leftover dies made prior to the change to the Bold N design in 1870. A few Shallow N coins were struck in 1870 - 1872 but none after that date except for 1877. It would be expected that if new dies were made for the 1877 issue it would have been a Bold N die. Perhaps some of the reported mintage are 1876 dated coins. This is unusual for this era, but not out of the question. If a large quantity of newly struck 1877 Indian cents, perhaps with Bold N reverses were struck, and subsequently destroyed, we would certainly have some record of it. This is the biggest mystery of the Indian cent series.
