Not 1877, wrong reverse.
Not 1871, which had a curved date logo.
1874 and 1876 are possibilities.
Value in any event - virtually worthless.

Please excuse my lousy drawing, which I did with the touchpad on my laptop in bed, but hopefully this conveys the idea.   The 7 and 4 look close together, but compare it to this:  |

Thank you all so much for your time and expertise. Didn't realize the significance of some of these dates until I started looking them up from your replies. Yes, indeed an 1877 would pretty much have been a miracle. An 1871 would have been really nice too - except then I would have been disappointed in it's condition. Numisma - Thanks a bunch for that drawing - better than mine would have been. Coinfrog: The only one I didn't figure out was Quote:

The regular issue 1877 reverse was struck with the old Shallow N reverse, which hadn't been used since 1872 and was never used again. Only the Proof issue of this year has the Bold N reverse (like yours), and this is most unlikely to have been a Proof strike.

This is exactly correct. My first impression from the photos is that you have an 1874.
