I would strongly recommend that you consider encapsulating this coin via a TPG (Third Party Grader). In the even that you do wish to sell it, you will find it much, much easier to sell if it has been certified. Although this does look like the genuine article, there are SO MANY counterfeit 1877 Indian Head cents that most buyers are very wary of purchasing one that has not been certified. Also, you may already know - but DO NOT clean this coin. As to the value increase it is more likely for a key date, such as this one, in a popular series, such as Indian Head cents, to appreciate. HOWEVER, like any investment, there is absolutely no way of knowing if it actually well increase in value simply based on past performance (or lack thereof). Get it certified and you will always have instant money in the bank! |

I agree, appears genuine. Certification is a must.
Appears problem free too. You have a fairly valuable coin there.

Hi Icyfors to CCF What you have as others have said, is a key date Indian Head cent, looks to be a G-06 but pretty close to VG8, get the coin certified to know for sure...  |

Definitely nothing screams a fake to me. I'd send it out asap to PCGS or NGC

THanks everybody. I don't think its fake. My granpa had its in his collection for a very long time, and we had some relatives in USA. Can I get it grade here in sweden or must it be in USA? How much does that cost? I cant anything about coins |

If your going to have it graded have it graded by the top 2 in the market, NGC and PCGS. You need a membership for PCGS and NGC and a coin to be graded usually costs around $40 with shipping grading and returning it back to you. Here are the websites for both. Good luck

Looks like at least a solid vg8 to me? Feather detail is there, all letters readable, missing part on of the "n" in "one" which is a sign that in fact it is genuine. Here is a graded PCGS 8 and dare I say the one posted here even looks a little better? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1877-PCGS-VG...AOSwuYVWnUVLEdited by Alan
