Indian Head Cent Authenticity Input

<p>[QUOTE="Mark Metzger, post: 26173402, member: 86472"]I just purchased an estate collection that features a real trove of Indian head cents. Pretty much all dates were represented in various conditions. Among the coins were these two pieces which stood out…for obvious reasons. I’m of the “if it seems too good to be true then it probably is” mindset so I’m operating under the assumption that these are both inauthentic. Might these (especially the 1874) be proof strikes? The date on the 1877 looks a bit off. The bottoms of the 7s don’t seem to”plump” enough. Any input would be appreciated. I’m including photos of a cool 1908s that was in the mix as well. Thanks in advance!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1670637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670638[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670641[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670643[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670644[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670646[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
