Obvious fake is obvious. Have you reported it?
It's funny that counterfeiters rarely seem to produce the weak N which is the first diagnostic that anybody ever looks at.
Edit: Before jumping the gun too much, proof 1877s had a strong N. It doesn't look like a circulated proof to me though.

I just took a look at a bunch of genuine 1877's that sold on Heritage the last few years, and the last 7 of the date on the eBay coin looks all wrong to me. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

If you report something as fake on eBay do you have to prove it?
How does the reporting work?
I saw the link, I've just never actually reported anything.

The date looks all wrong to me also, take a look at a few 1877 Indians on Heritage or other sites.

Honestly, with 15 bids, let them fight! It seems like a grand bunch of idiots in this auction to me... yikes!

How does the reporting work? Scubu, where are you?  I pulled this from his signature: Report eBay Coin Auctions Here [Link fixed by Bryan1315 because it wasn't working]I do not think you have to prove it, just report it.

This line alone would make me not bid. Real or not. Quote:

UGH! Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

The date looks all wrong to me also  The digits are too large, for starters. Then there's the clincher--that "bold N" reverse.  For future reference, here's this fake compared to a certified 1877.
