<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3624353, member: 101855&quot;]Save your pennies and buy a certified example with no problems. I would recommend looking for one in VG with a straight grade. PCGS Coin Facts lists the VG 1877 cents at $700 to $800. Auction results have been in the $500 to $625 range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another way to look it is when it comes time to sell, you have a piece that other collectors will want. Problem coins, unless they are super rare, are always harder to sell. The 1877 cent is not super rare. It&#039;s hardly even scarce ... just pricey.</p><p><br /></p><p>The trouble with the certified ones that have problems and are in &quot;details grade&quot; holders is that is where the counterfeiters have been getting by the grading services, including PCGS and NGC. They take their counterfeits, rough them up some to hide the problems and send them in for grading. The major services have tripped up on such pieces on several occasions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
