I dont know much about US coins and I saw this one for sale (very cheap), what do you think of it? fake or original?

I don't know about real or fake but that sure is an odd wear pattern on the obv. Wonder what caused that?

It's impossible to tell without having the coin to diagnose. Color, weight, a very close examination of the date. 1877 could be a modified 187x and such.

Depending on how cheap is cheap, you may want to go ahead and buy it. It grades about poor.

I wonder about wear patterns sometimes. I guess in this case, the coin could have been hacked and scraped on the top obverse and then continued to circulate for several years. The resulting wear covering up the scraping. - Plausible I guess.

Really that low? I was thinking about Fair-AG. Then again IHC are french to me.

But I agree with Art about overall grade...do to the obv.

well it does show the distinctive weak strike in the center of the reverse..all real 1877's show that....but that has also been known to have been faked...there should be a die crack in the bottom of the date..but i think that this guy might be too far gone to see that...i would send it in to a grading service and see what they have to say..

My first feeling is that it's genuine based upon the top shapes of the 7's and, as mentioned, the characteristic weakness across the center of the reverse. It would probably grade only FR-2/AG-3 -- if it's really that cheap buy it and send it away.

Well it seems that the seller had mistakenly wrote that the price was $25, the real price is $450

Sounds more genuine now..................
