Doesn't look counterfeit. Circ proof is definitely a possibility.   Edited by chasingtailbar

I believe you are viewing Photograde and not CoinFacts correct? The OP coin is not on CoinFacts as an AG03 1877 MS Indian. Photograde is built for grade interpretation and not date/mm authentication.

Good catch Redraider.  If that's a circulated proof, it's certainly the exception for that year, and an odd choice for a grading reference, imo. Perhaps a different year reverse got swapped?  Edited by DVCollector

The reverses do not have to be the same coin as the obverse, right?

Good point - the reverse may be from a different coin.

If you look at all of the coins on photograde, they use the same coin for the obverse and reverse. I thought about that, but it appears that the images of the obverse and reverses are from the same coin.

Back when James Ruddy did Photograde in 1970 in the text he mentioned that they took photos or thousands of coins to come up with the images and they selected the best example for each grade they showed that grade most accurately, and that in most cases the obv and rev were NOT from the same coin.

Just look at the color patterns on all of the other Indian cents. The two other coins that should have the shallow N reverse for the dates are correct (1865/1867). I suppose they could be from different coins, but every other one in the Indian cents appear to have reverse/obverse images of the same coin. |
