Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Found 1877 coin

Question
I have found an 1877 coin that I cannot seem to locate information on.  I will scan it and email it to you if you think you can assist me in identifying it.  It is not the 1877 silver dollar.  The picture on the coin is a male faced to the right with a flag in his hand.  It says United States (space for his head) Of America, and 1877 below his feet.  Thank you for your time and assistance.  Maria

Answer
Hello Maria,            

Is there any other writing on the coin?
What are the other image designs?
Is there an eagle on the coin?

I will happily look into the origin of the piece for you.
You can send your pictures to coins@writeme.com

Thank You and Good Luck
