mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 10:29 pm Hello, This photo is the best I could obtain from another source totally out of my control. Neither photographic improvements nor a shot of the reverse side are available to better assist us in determining the status of this coin. Please opine on: a. what the date really appears to be, b. the type of error or variety designation present, and c. what type of retail $ value could be assigned to the coin taking into account the various possibilities on the low and high end etc. thanks, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Diagnostically, appears genuine. Value? Your looking at about $300-350 Oh, no error just wear. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 02/14/2013 05:07 am 1877 no problem, just need to get it slabbed and you be sitting pretty, as it stands raw, not many people would have the confidence in paying that much for one, slabbing makes sense when a coin is more than $200.00 and often counterfeited, like the 1877. Wouldn't put it past people to get fake chinese ones and artificially wear them down to an almost unrecognizable state like yours. At $300+ it's a profitable scam today, be careful.
