Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 833 Posts	Posted Today 15H 28M ago I wanted to get your opinion on this coin, is it real or counterfeit? https://www.ebay.com/itm/298624371474 Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4488 Posts	Posted Today 14H 44M ago The motto is off. Compare the placement of trust in the motto to any genuine 1877 S example. It appears to be a counterfeit. Below is a PCGS genuine 1877 S example to compare the motto. Edited by Slider23 Today 14H 38M ago Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinguy1964 Pillar of the Community United States 1340 Posts	Posted Today 8H 26M ago I'm not very familiar with these coins, but how is the motto off? I trying comparing visually, and they look the same to me? I'm always trying to learn. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27070 Posts	Posted Today 7H 59M ago Motto is definitely "off": IMN ? Extra letter between WE and TRUST? And TRUST is incorrectly placed. It reminds me of a listing I saw where the seller had used AI to monkey with the coin image. Whether fake or just doctored image, it's best to avoid this one.

I am not either but did a side by side comparison with the PCGS coin provided by Slider23 and the coin in question. TRUST, that Slider23 spoke of sticks out like a sore thumb and I also noticed the mint mark style is wrong too. To me the feather design on the coin in question also look really off in comparison to the real coin. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1696 Posts	Posted Today 5H 38M ago First red flag: "Seller does not accept returns." As noted above, the motto and mint mark are wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
