Looks authentic to me, it looks like a WB-101 variety. The weight of an 1877 S Half is 12.50gm.

Not seeing anything that would tell me it's not authentic. What's your concern?

Looks authentic.

If you think patina might not be original, it might had an old cleaning but has re-toned.

It probably is market acceptable.

Note the damage in the obverse field at 3:00 might detail it as damaged. It's authentic.

Authentic VF but cleaned, possibly with a wire brush of some sorts. I think it would get a details grade at a major third party grader.
