<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 620661, member: 7638&quot;]In the meantime, I will point out that it has a very weakly struck obverse, with flat stars and head of Liberty, which is the rule for the 1877 P. issue. In spite of that, the reverse is pretty well struck up, except for some letters at upper left and part of the motto. What I like about this coin is that it has authentic-looking luster in protected areas, and precise detail in the eagle&#039;s head and eye. Over all the rims look narrow enough and I believe the dentils are ok, although some of them are a bit weakly struck too. I don&#039;t see the pitting, fused dentils, or vestigial dentils often seen on fakes. So, if the weight is around 27g and the edge reeding looks uniform and edge to edge, I think it&#039;s most likely authentic. I believe it is EF (look at the gown folds and the eagle&#039;s wings and head). I can&#039;t tell if it was previously cleaned and retoned. I might not see some scratches or other hits. Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
