I'll let you hold it for 10 bucksI'll tell you what. I'll give you ten bucks for it...cash. And that is only because we are friends. I'll give it to you when we meet up on Friday to go detecting. Deal?

200 max, not worth getting graded but nice find nevertheless
I'm gonna try and get it graded.
That's good info. Thanks for suggesting a banner vote.Are you using a price guide from 1984? You're looking at an VF-EF 09-S IHP, which carries a collector book value of about $500-650. It's my non-expert opinion that $700 is high for that coin, but people are excited to see one. As an environmentally damaged specimen, I'd knock $150-$200 off the top and say you're left with about a $400 coin. The following example is hacked to pieces, and it found a new home for $300 - Indian Head Small Cent 1909s | eBay / (And eBay sell values are much closer to wholesale than retail...) In fact, I don't recall the last 1909 S IHP posted that was dug, and dug in such nice condition, so for that, I'm voting banner. It's worth more than most gold coins that make the banner.
Good info. ThanksI would call the grading service first and ask how they will grade a dug copper coin - they will probably tell you that it will be graded as "corroded" or "environmentally damaged" although it is in great shape. If you were going to get it graded to sell it, skip on the grade - collectors will pay for that key date to fill a collection.
