Really?? Is this remotely possibly a Proof?

  Well, Yes.

  The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

  Given this article, pcgs.com/News/Altering-One-Of-Americas-Favorite-Coins-The-1877-Indian-Head, I'm assuming they found that because it has strong N's on the reverse, it's not a business strike and thus must be a proof, assuming also they first agree it is genuine. Hard to tell from your pictures whether the N's are that strong.

  Thanks. I agree the eBay pictures are not very good. My 1877s have the weak "N", just looked. Shucks.

  Pop 1, lowest details assigned (LDA). Could bring a monstrous premium.

  So there are no genuine struck for circulation 1877 cents with the N strong. A lot of people had to look at a lot of 1877s to come up with that. Verrry interesting. Could happen, I guess.
