Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 7:09 pm I question the last digit too. Seems more five-like, at least at the top.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 9:20 pm In that condition does it really matter? Pretty hard to tell if it is or not. Also it is a more common 1875, not an 1876 Report this Post to the Staff
Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 5:14 pm Thanks for the feedback. Photo, along with the coin is poor, it's actually an 1877. Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 5:49 pm Looks like a shallow N reverse, a key diagnostic of an 1877. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 5:55 pm Does not look like the Shallow N reverse to me in any way. Edited by Coinfrog 11/27/2022 5:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 7:57 pm Hmm, that does not look like an 1877 at all . 1875 is more like it . Report this Post to the Staff
