Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 10/13/2026 12:41 am The 1877 IH has a bold N, which only shows up on a few proof coins. The others are not easy for me to tell. They are pretty beat up, which would probably keep me from bidding. Report this Post to the Staff

The routing is only initiated for single coins. The seller listed the 1877 Indian Head, which is a single coin that sold for more than $500, in the category "Mixed Lots". This listing category is excluded. Report this Post to the Staff
