I see a lot of us are questioning the grade, so here's my Two Cents: Obverse: VG-10 Although there may not be a combination of two full letters in LIBERTY, there is just a hint of two. However, there are more diagnostics to grading the obverse than just the letters in LIBERTY. For example, the detail in the feathers is better than a VG-8 (but not F-12). Reverse: F-12 Solid for the grade. Overall, I think because of the coin being a key date, they gave it the benefit of the doubt and slabbed it accordingly. |

 ..Looking at the coin through the plastic it looks F-12 to me, Congrats, redcentcollector..  Ed.. I agree with you, a AG-3 1877 Indian would be great for our set too...if we could even afford one of those.  |

I feel your pain took me a long (been saving for for almost a year) while to save up funds to be able to buy one and same goes if I buy one of the ''big boys'' (1793, 1799, 1804 and 1856 flying eagle).
As far as the ''big boys'' go it will be year between purchases. And I will most likely start with a PCGS VG-08 1793 chain cent America (Simply can't afford a higher grade than that). Love that coin!!

Nice looking 77 Also one I need. I never really tried to do a set of Indian Head cents. I just buy them when they come along, I think I need 5 or 6 more. I hope a 77 comes along ...like that one |

My favorite key date US coin :-)
PCGS as well..even better. Mines also PCGS but got a genuine holder for ED.
You can't go wrong with this coin. Always popular, always marketable.

I have my reservations about this one...there should be a full LIBERTY on a F12 (I did not read the thread before making my comments) and the rims are wore down also. It may be a weak strike or the angle the image is taken at, but that is my observation. Great date!

Well this will look just fine in my lower grade set!! Will you crack it out, then? If so, I'd think you could find a cheaper example at a show ... I like this comparable one for the money ... around $50 less. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1823-2-LARG...em4d28b791f4 |

Ohhh no I never crack any of my coins out. I am not going to lose money if I want to sell it and up grade in the long run. I agree on that G-06 (looks to have some corrosion do) but the seller does not ship to Canada.  Plus I have purchased about 6 coins from the same seller so there is no extra shipping charge either.

Great find. Indians are my most favorite set. Actually all coins are. Canadian also I should have bought the 77 or 09s back when I could have got the cheaper than they are now. I have been trying to get a choice set of vf or better. But when you retire the budget gets smaller I got a nice 08s vf+ many yrs back for $10 area. Also a lot of red and red/brn unc and some choice copper nickle 60-64. I should have got the keys first. I need a few upgrades on some late 60`s and early 70`s. I would like to have something of value for my 13 year old Grandson. That I got into the hobby. I gave him a near full set of LWC from 09 to 58 to get him going. And he will probably come to one of you folks to add to his coins. |
