Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/06/2022 08:52 am Only the proofs of this year had the Bold N reverse, and this does not look like a proof (much less a "Choice Proof"). Edited by Coinfrog 11/06/2022 12:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 11/07/2022 08:13 am If this is authentic (big if), it is not "choice" at all. Big scratch as noted, corrosion, and that's just what we see in the pics. The date looks right, and the design is right for the date, but it does not look like a proof coin to me. If it's not a proof strike, it's definitely counterfeit per the wrong design in the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/11/2022 7:54 pm 1st IHC is almost certainly not authentic 2nd is possibly a misattributed proof but the photos are very bad and I would be very cautious! I also suspect it's been doctored and recolored at a minimum! The proof dies for 1877 did not have a broken E in AMERICA which is clearly visible on the 1st coin, and the overall appearance of the surfaces is grainy, with some odd lumps here and there. Look in front of the neck, for an example, and around the ear, and the last S in STATES (more odd things) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
