I'm not an expert but the die combination is correct for this year. Type 1 obverse with Type 2 reverse. if it is genuine I put at a possible MS63/64 range and a very nice coin

Appears to be an impaired proof strike, probably PR58 or so, if authentic.

I think it's good but the kind of coin and very counterfeit
Someone wants to overlay it to an original I've tried 2 times has given two different results

As questioned before by nss-52, how did you acquired it?
Also, higher resolution photos (up to 300K size) would be helpful.

I agree with the others, looks like a mishandled proof. PR-58

According to PCGS coinfacts, T1 / T2 proofs do exist (most were T2 / T2), but are exceedingly rare. This coin is a T1 / T2, so if it is a proof it would be RARE. Edited by nss-52

I compared with two slabbed type-2 1876 proof Rev and have some reservations on authenticity. This can be an expensive coin with many known counterfeits(especially T1/T2 combo), so I would not purchase it without a full money back before sending it to a TPG. |

This is definitely type-1/type-2 combination.   So, comparing it with PCGS PR64 same type reverse from Heritage, I see some differences. This does NOT mean your coin if a counterfeit since pictures can be deceiving. However, I am pointing out the differences. An expert needs to examine this with coin in hand.  |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
