HoboNickelCarver Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 11/17/2018 8:57 pm This article gives a good example of a counterfeit 1877 Indian Head cent. The motto does look unusual as the author points out, among other differences. I thought it was interesting that it says "NGC sees numerous examples per week". A lot of fakes must be out there. https://coinweek.com/dealers-compan...n-head-cent/ Report this Post to the Staff
