I can see where you might think they had fiddled with the "N", however these pictures are so cruddy that I would hesitate to pass judgment ... especially considering that the seller has an exceptionally high feedback score with a 7-day return policy. I assume you are familiar with the diagnostics of the 1877 IHC ... for the benefit of other "lurkers" who might not be, that "N" is supposed to be weakly struck if it's genuine. From the looks of the other N and the E next to it, this might have been struck at a very late stage of the die's lifetime. But then again, I am no expert on IHC's. Again, judging from the seller's high feedback, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. -- Bob Hairgrove |

The second "7" is correct and the weakness seen at the central portion of reverse is where it should be. Coin is heavily worn, and I would call it AG-3, but it looks the way it should look. Ira |

I'm not interested in the coin, it is just that the area around the two major diagnostics looked like it had been fooled with (the second 7 and the N) with photo software. The seller does have great feedback and a return policy, so that is not a red flag. |
