Ha! I'll bet that subject line grabbed your attention!

No, I'm not selling 101 of them and neither is anyone else, but I just did a search on ebay and found that there were 101 of them for sale, either through auction or Buy it Now. And...I excluded the words "replica", "copy", "set" and "collection" from my search...so these all appear to be legit 1877's or 1877's that the seller wants you to THINK are legit.

What's my point?

That's a LOT of 1877's! There have been times when I've searched and found only 8 or 9 for sale.

What do you think? A bunch of fakes? A glut? Or maybe I've always looked at the wrong times?

That sounds like too many for them to all be legit to me. I guess mostly because it's a key coin.

NEVER buy an expensive raw coin on ebay. The results are about the same as a midnight stroll through the heart of Detroit.

That isn't good advice if the potential bidder knows the series well and can easily tell if the coin in question is a problem coin or a counterfeit. If I know a series well and know how to spot a counterfeit, I have no problem bidding on a expensive raw coin.

They are fairly easy to find in the AG/G/VG range. The selection gets narrowed down pretty fast any higher than that. I saw one today at a coin show that was PCGS XF40 for $2700.00. It was a nice one too!
