    It's probably not a fake, but wallstreetman is right. The date's been cleaned.

    You would think so... who knows, I quite possibly could be wrong. All I know is, I personally wouldn't bid on it because the feather position tells me this coin was made during/after 1886.

    I can't see that from the photo. At any rate, if the coin is real, it's an almost respectable coin for someone looking to fill a hole in a date set on a modest budget.

    Fair enough... I would pay $60 for a genuine 1877 in that condition. As for the authenticity, that question is best left to the person with the coin in hand. Wallstreetman, if you're 100% convinced it's the real deal, you're in a better position to be correct than I. I certainly do not mean to offend by raising a question about the coin; only trying to help out based on the information I'm able to glean about the coin from the image that appears on my screen...

    To get this thread back on topic, I would go for the key dates in low grade, personally...
