I think this '77 Indian is a counterfeit: 153188883595

This looks like a terrible fake if you ask me, yet it looks like it's drawing a lot of suckers. The details are all off on the obverse and mushy on the reverse, the rims look awful, and the strong N on top of it makes this one of the worst cent fakes I've ever seen. This needs to be removed.

I'm suspicious of this one too: 323461456852

The pictures are terrible, but the details look mushy and the rims just seem wrong. I'd bid on this if you all deem it genuine though; it's the last IHC date I need and looks kinda decent besides it looking potentially fake.

For future reference, where's the best place to go to post garbage like this for removal?

Photos to bad to see if it's real or not. But from what I see I'd pass on this one.
Rest in Peace

The '77 appears to have a Strong N reverse, so it's either a messed up proof or a fake. I can't see much of anything on the second one. These sure don't appeal to me.

The 1877 is a really bad fake. The others I just can't see good enough.

I think the 77' has just been harshly cleaned

Look at the placement of the last feather, that didn't happen until 1886.

Here's one from the no no site...

Yes, well done Raymo. The Strong N on the reverse confirms it. I hope Bobby can take it down.

Lower feather should be between the "IC" and "CA" in "AMERICA.
