That is amazingly helpful - I had no idea there were so many different 1877's. It is a very worn coin (so please don't laugh when you see the photo) and worn coins can be quite misleading (I have an 1875 where the "5" looks like a small 5 like a half penny - but a look under the microscope and it is just wear) . For the 1877 you can just see the top of the 2nd "7" and sadly no its lost its teeth I've just taken this photo with a iphone but if you wanted more detail (not that there is much !) I can get an image from my microscope Great to see what you think Very Best Regards Richard P.S. I did find a small date 1862 yesterday (again very worn but clearly the smaller size) I may try to go through my other 1877's today (most of which are in much better condition) and probably 1873. I've moved the 1862 into my main tray so it doesn't get lost !
