<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bigness1970, post: 1513022, member: 36090&quot;]I think i have a better picture of just the date.&nbsp; I also downloaded a stock picture and will explain what the coin dealer had said to me:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]195948.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>what was said is: &quot;One way to tell if it is an 1877/6 is the bottom of the last 7.&nbsp; See how the bottom is bigger than the bottom of the first 7?&nbsp; The next way to tell...as he had me look through his magnifier...is, see how the mark goes from the inside of the top of the second seven, then sweeps around to the bottom of the seven.&nbsp; that is why the bottom of the second seven is larger than the first seven.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I admit that I am an amateur coin collector, and half to rely on opinions from others and coin shops.&nbsp; But, after he pointed out the distinguishing marks, I had tended to believe him since he does this for a living.&nbsp; The offer that he threw at me for the 1877 was $140 dollars.&nbsp; I thought this to be a little low considering the age of the coin, and the fact that he said it was an 1877/6 coin.&nbsp; My intentions are to have it slabbed through NGC as a variety plus coin.&nbsp; I only paid $35.04 for the coin, but figured he was low-balling me anyways.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
