A Fake 1877 Indian?

Yes, doesn't look right... especially the 1 & 8 in the date

The date is wrong and there is no shallow N. Definite fake.

Yup, agree w/ everyone else, the date looks wrong. Faked.

Definitely a fake.
The bold "N" in ONE is the giveaway.

edweather ... Yes, I'd reported a few of her prior offerings. I've reported this one, too. I'm surprised that her feedback doesn't better reflect the number of fakes she's sold!

So bad, how can it have 20 bids? Good find ExoGuy!

Thanks, pennynickelguy. I've been following this seller for awhile, spotting and reporting what I regard as being some of the more deceptive fakes than most I see on ebay.

The angled pics of typically damaged key dates will usually appeal to the under-informed collectors or hole-fillers. Thus, it's my impression that the seller is targeting this market. Some of the other fake keys sold have been multiples of the 1914-D, 1909-S Lincoln and the S-mint Indians. Sprinkled in between have been some genuine semi-keys. The seller generally avoids listing too many at one time, as they all have a similarly funky appearance, what with artificial discoloration, marks and modest damage. It's my estimation that the monthly take probably covers household expenses, while the seller flies below the radar, preying upon less astute collectors.
