Could this be evidence of a coin doctor? I don't know for sure what the tell tell signs are. This one is straight graded, however I have been told by a respected dealer who lives near me that doctored coins get in slabs frequently.

Straight graded by who? That could make a difference.

Good question. Slabbed or not, this coin will not bring close to 45 money.

EF-45 details. Questionable surfaces.

I'm with XF details, and investing in a 1877 is a big deal. maybe this one got the key date "gift" from the TPG |

Only 2 obverse dies (business strikes) known for this date. This one has the weak feather tips. Easy XF45 however I would not be surprised to see this in an AU50 slab. Possible cleaned and retoned.

I will go with XF-45. Is it cleaned? I don't know and won't guess.

I was just thinking of something. Is an X45+ just a nice way of saying a coin is AU50? Just curious.
