| I collect coins dated 1877
Hi, I collect coins dated 1877. I have a complete 1877 US proof set with original tonning except the gold and am looking for other countries proof sets from 1877 also.

That's an unusual niche. Why that particular date?

Their first proof set wasn't issued until Showa 37 (1962), and there were no individual proofs either in Meiji 10 (1877). Korea was considered a Japanese province in 1877, so you won't have any luck there either.

First, Welcome!!
A search at Heritage only brings up 2 world proof. A Dominican Republic, Copper-nickel 2-1/2 centavos 1877 and some shillings from a country unnamed.

If I am not mistaken, Russia did mint a few coins in proof for some random number of years but those are extremely pricy I can warn you. Couple of thousands will just only get you a single coin!
