Is this an actual 1877 Indian Head Cent?

    All the places to look for diagnostics are gone in the image. The weak "N" on the reverse looks scooped out. The coin is listed with a ? so I see nothing wrong from the seller or Ebay. It takes a strange class of folks that think they will get a "bargain."

    It looks like an 18cull to me.

    I wouldn't mess around with a coin like that.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say 'no'. Hats off to the seller, he got $50 for junk, without really being deceptive.

    If you have to ask, why would you bid? Even if we said yes, would you believe it?

    That's no bargain at any price, even if it is an 1877.

    Not an 1877. Date configuration is wrong; most likely an 1870 or 1871. (1877s have a straight date, as do most of the 1870s (decade) Indians. The 1870 (year) and '71 have curved dates.

    that is a horrifying piece of scrap metal

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    The 8 is lower than the first 7. It's an 1871. Still a tough coin but probably not worth the $50. closing price.
