Back in the 1980's, I was metal detecting in an old Midwest park and dug up this 1877 Indian Head. As shown in the picture, it came out of the ground pretty green but it has pretty good detail and it is, still, a rare 1877. I've never sent it in for grading but wonder what it would grade in that condition.
Any comments??

Great to see an 1877 Indian head post thats not bogus,i'd imagine it could bring anywhere from 400-700 dollars in that condition.

That's the Holy Grail of Indian Heads...WTG!!!

I was using a pic of an uncirculated 1877 IH as my avatar. Since it was just a picture and not a coin I actually owned I felt compelled to remove it until I found my own......I'm figuring on next summer ;D

Congrats on a very rare find!!!
