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.

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. |

i actually own a real 1877 and I'm laughing at these idiots bidding on a complete fake haha! the giveaway is the N in one on the reverse on any real coin the N was always weak and the bottom and the fake shows no sign of that and the 2nd 7 is supposed to be lower! wow someones getting a fake coin and paying for it too

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.  Edited by DVCollector
