Edit: I just looked at one I images recently, the auction looks off for sure.
<< <i>Shouldnt that have a weak "N"? >>
Thats what I was thinking.
EAC 6024
77 is all wrong looking
and the rims are better then they should be.
When I first saw the coin I thought altered date but when you look closer its a fake coin from dies.
The modeled coin was not a 77 so its fake and an altered date if you ask me.
On a more humorous note, I like the words he used in his description. Never quite heard a coin described like this...
"Full Liberty and a Full Shield with lines clearly full struck and unmolested."

<< <i>I do wonder if the coin is a very impaired proof.
No way. The fact that the date is completely off is a clear signal that this is a fake coin.
Not saying that it is not a fake, just not sure enough to commit.

But you have to keep in mind that not all strong "N" coins are fake. As has been hinted at, there are coins that came from the proof dies that do have a strong N on the reverse, so the weak N versus strong N argument does not always hold true on the 1877 indians...usually it does, but not always.
