Figured not 1877 - just hoping. I didn't know they had soft N's. Found this in a lot of 500 culls. Once in a while there are some fairly valuable ones to be found.

Well from the Coinfacts images you can definitely tell that it isn't a 72. Date digits are too large.

I'm going on record as saying it is 1878.

The "soft" N is generally called the "Shallow N" die and is, with the single exception of 1877, only found on Indians dated 1872 or earlier. The later version, adopted in 1873 and used until the end of the series, is called the "Bold N" die, and the difference is clear when you've seen both types. It is unclear why they re-used the Shallow style in 1877 - perhaps, planning on a small mintage, they felt they could squeeze a little more life out of one remaining die (there is only one reverse die known for 1877}.
