Looking at your other auctions, I'm afraid I've got bad news about your 1877 IHC, too. :( That reverse looks nothing like the weak-centered strike on a legitimate 1877. If all four of the coins you've listed came from the same source, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble by pulling the auctions immediately. To further cover yourself from eBay's perspective, edit the listings to say "I'm ending this auction because I've been informed that this is a counterfeit coin" -- that way, you demonstrate that you're acting in good faith. Don't be like the guy who sold me a counterfeit Walker -- he didn't want to own up to it, had a number of other auctions for unmarked counterfeits, and ended up getting kicked off after almost 13 years on eBay.[/QUOTE]
