[QUOTE="NSP, post: 2492208, member: 74849"]PCGS's Coinfacts app claims that there is only one reverse die for the 1877.

For the obverse, the last feather on the headdress is positioned between the I and C in "America," which is also correct. These findings make me think the coin is genuine. For the 1909-S, I tried to compare denticles again and noticed that some of the coins in the Coinfacts app exhibited a tiny bump on the denticle immediately to the left of the denticle directly below the mintmark.
