Genuine 1877 Indian Head Cent For Under $100

Ummmmmmmm

I would pass.

Not an 1877 but might have some value as a PO-01 1865. Assuming there's enough date left for a grader to discern it clearly.

The seller is not worth the time of day. There are many, numerous reputable sellers on ebay and in the marketplace. You will gain nothing trying to correspond with the likes of that seller.

As of now there are 32 bids on this piece of junk .

Being falsely advertised IMO -- you can't list a coin with an incomplete date as being a certain date unless there are one year only dies/die markers (cf. 1859 IHC, 1916 SLQ, 1853 Liberty Seated quarters & half dollars)

The position of the date and overall style of the obverse matches more closely with an 1867. Type I obverse so 1887, 1897 and 1907 are right out.

The only proper way to advertise this on ebay would be as a no-date or dateless IHC.

I won't ever justify anyone taking advantage of customers regardless of their knowledge level. As numismatists and sellers or dealers it is our duty to the hobby to educate and inform buyers and collectors and knowingly listing coins with incorrect or fraudulent information is deceptive and unethical.

Sadly, there are a lot of sellers out there like this yahoo selling the Indian Head cent who don't agree with this and are just looking to put one over on the uninformed to make a quick buck.

I'll have to agree to disagree.
Misleading and lying to your customers is a good way to ensure that they won't be your customers for very long.
Yes, customers need to do their research and be educated consumers, but that doesn't mean fraud is an acceptable business practice.
Of course, if you fairly represent a coin for sale and people pay way too much money for it, that's on them.

Anyway, enough said on this subject from me, don't want to derail this thread.

Coconutjoe- If you actually read the thread you will know that we all have established that.
