$900 is a lot of cash.

But I feel I would buy that coin.

Overall a nice looking VF coin.

Small rim ding on the reverse.
Maybe a misaligned die, little weak at "of America" on obverse
and on reverse at arrows.

The green spots do not seem bad, I would treat with Verdi care.

This coin would make most of my other 1870's IHC's look bad,
but it would look great filling the empty hole in my Dansco.

I gotta say I had low expectations for this 1877 after hearing about the green spots, the price tag, and you only having 29 posts (so far. . . ).

Pleasantly surprised here for a change. Often these types of threads end up with a fake coin or a grossly over graded coin for the price.

Looks like you got yourself a good dealer to work with Jim. Treat him well and it is often reciprocated.

I think your making a great choice also-everything looks legit obverse and reverse no doubt and I think it's worth every bit of 900$ good luck keep us posted

I like silver, but it'd be centless not to go with the '77

At $900 I would be ALL IN! I bet this would get a problem free VF20-25. 100% authentic....really well priced. Go for it!

I just traded a roll of common date circulated Morgans for an 1877. So I might be slightly biased in favor of the 1877...

Drew ... If someone offer's me a "penny" for my thoughts, I'd take it ... especially, if it's an 1877! I'd then regard that 1877 "penny" as .... are you ready .... "Heaven-cent!"

I would have gone for a scarcer type coin, like a draped bust half.

Chiming in late here, but would ask if all that apparent chatter in left obverse field is on the holder?

I know this is late, but I'll throw in my Two Cents.
If I had the choice, I'd definitely go for the IHC.
