buy a slabbed AG3... pretty cheap for the coin (cheapest i've seen slabbed is $550), and guaranteed authentic.

 

Good luck with that!!!! They do not come cheap!!

 

Define "cheap".

 

alright ill ask my coin store.
thanks zach.
By cheap i mean like below $100

 

the chinese sell fake ones for that. you won't find an authentic one for that low.

 

There are two slabbed AG-3 on ebay for under $200 right now.

 

how long left on the auction?

 

ok im going to check it out

 

How can you want this so badly and not know the pricing ?

 

Good luck finding one for under $100, because you won't. Like stated above, I'd go for a Slabbed AG-3. With AG-3, you know what coin it is without it being completely rubbed flat. You can get one in AG-3 in the range of $450 to $850, depending on who's selling it. You'll see AG-3 examples with a asking price of $1,000, and you'll see them for $500. Again, it depends on who's selling it. I've been considering one for a while, just been busy with my summer break. Plus, there's only one dealer who does deal with big ticket stuff, but he's on Maui. And I only visit Maui when I go visit my Aunt, which is once every 3 months.

 

How low can you go on slabbed genuines -- dug, scrubbed, P01?

 

I don't think you will find anything that resembles an 1877 for under $100.

 

maybe a 1872 that is now a 1877

 

The cheapest 1877 IHC I could find on eBay completed auctions was this one. Talk about ugly! Huge gash across the obverse. But for $139.17 what do you expect? Is that a Weak N on the reverse? Ya know, I just can't say for sure.



If $139.17 is too rich for your blood perhaps you would rather take a gamble on this coin for $15.50 (plus $4.95 S/H). Use your imagination to see the last 7 in the date.

 

You'll forgive me for asking, but why?

 

maybe it's the only one he is missing

 

alright im going to save up then

 

Cheap and 1877 IHC aren't usually used in the same sentence. You can find an slabbed AG-3 example for under $500. ONce you jump up to G-4 you're looking at $700-850. For my money, if I was going to pay that, I'd jump up to VG8 which can be had for around $1000. Here's one on eBay right now: slabbed NGC VG8, no problem coin for $1050 BIN.

There you have it: with the simple click of a mouse, you could have your key date/centerpiece of a nice circulated Indian Head Cent collection for around a grand.

 

Sorry,don't think that's going to happen
