<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mstng02gt, post: 1242155, member: 15174&quot;]Nic a date is the stuff as someone stated above. That stuff only works on dateless buffalo and liberty nickels (I think it works on liberty nickels better the buffs). That is due to the composition of metals.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some diagnostics for your to look for on the 1877. Most notably is the N on &quot;ONE&quot; on the reverse is usually pretty weak. Look at several of the 1877 &quot;N&quot;&#039;s on ebay and see if they match up. Someone smarter them me could probably give more diagnostics too. Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit...</p><p><br /></p><p>I went ahead and took a pic of a pcgs AG3 1877 I have on hand. Note the center &quot;N&quot; in one is weaker then the rest of the letters despite some obvious wear too. Due to some scratches on the reverse of the holder it was very tough to get a good pic. Hopefully this was decent. This angle minimized them. Hope this helps!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/rmiiqu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
