[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 26173437, member: 102022"]Mark, I'm no expert on IHC's, so take this with a grain of salt until the experts arrive. And they will, because the few representative coins you've posted sure look sweet. My take on the '74 and the '77 is this.... The '4' in the 1874 looks off. The bottom serif just doesn't look right. It looks too long. Unless there are varying dies that I'm unfamiliar with that 4 doesn't appear genuine. I'll say the same for the '7's' in the 1877. The top serif 'bumps' don't look good. The '08-S looks good to my eye. Again, I AM NO EXPERT. I am looking forward to hearing that I'm wrong though. I'd like to hear you have some beautiful acquisitions. Edit to add: Upon further review the '8' doesn't look right on the 1874 or the 1877 either. The two holes are wrong.[/QUOTE]
