I believe it's real. Nice coin.

 

Looks real so far. Here's my certified VF20 1877 T$1 for reference.

 

On further examination, the alignment of the date and IGWT is different between OP's coin (1 is almost directly below the O) and the one I posted (1 is directly below G). I don't know if that's normal or not (probably is because it is a different mint).

 

I've only had 1 over the years yes 1877 s ,I see nothing that would make me question its authenticity.
I like dark coins vs bright as they tend to be less chance of being a fake....not the rule but less likely to be a problem coin. Nice find.

 

Looks good to me.

 

Date placement can be different from the same mint...remember the dates were hand stamped in the die... not the hub. I see this very often in IHC's and H-10's.

 

I don't see any problems with it, as a matter of fact I like it.

 

So many horror stories around Trade Dollars, that I wouldn't trust myself to know the difference between a real one and a really good fake.

 

Looks very good compared side by side with mine.. I would say real. Only difference I detect is the mint mark on yours

 

Looks real to me.

 

Authentic. No doubt.

 

Looks authentic, and appears to be an attractive coin.

 

Does Liberty's face look okay to y'all? Looks kind of strange to me, but I'm definitely not an expert on Trade $.

 

Yup, it has the old man face.

 

It may be a face that only a mother could love, but it meets standards for a Trade Dollar Miss Liberty. (standards weren't so high in those days, but higher than for the 20 cent piece, which I think was modeled after a gopher)
