The 1876 proof was struck in approximately 1,150 proofs, a higher figure than most years in the 1870s. The increased production may reflect demand connected to the centennial celebrations, which heightened public awareness of American history and coinage. The 1876 proof is a centennial-year coin, and the association adds a modest measure of collector interest beyond its ordinary place in the proof sequence.
