Since as conder says the obverse is a type II (feather between the C-A), it isn't a 1877 cent. Is there any way to get a better photo of the date...
Surely this type of cutter is available today as it was in 1961, to make just the correct size hole in your album. You could center the device in...
Ok, after I posted that the photo creeps into view?????? Thanks for the service. Jim
Welcome mycohopper to the forum! I am assuming that there was once a photo attached unless Matt and Mike have become paranormal. If you could...
15% #4 GOLD ( The US dollar/world currency too flakey for now, no more than 20%) 50% #1 Stock ETFs ( set following stops for 10% loss) 10% #2...

RH287, don't dispair, I have a couple of 1884S in the bank that came back AU58. There are many sliders AU/MS for this date, and 90% plus of them...
I think that Nadler's interview covers the practical basis of gold pricing extremely well. Jim

Since the cent is so worn, if you have some lock lubricating type of graphite powder, you might try brushing it over the date area. If there is...
But that % is through out the entire coin, whereas in plating the % in the plate could be significantly higher. True it is thinner, but, maybe...
I think it is a weak D #1 also. I seem to see a fuzzy die crack and the second 2 isn't as weak appearing as usual with a #3 in this grade , IMO. Jim
I think it is a nickel plating on a copper coin. Nickel is attracted to a magnet in various alloys. Jim
The weight would be important to know also. I am assuming that it is in well used condition, so my next consideration would be a close inspection...
Krispy, I suspect there will be more wailing about the modern mint products changing over the years. If there is spotting now, it won't get better...
