🥇 BANNER 3 inches of frozen ground reveal KEY date indian 1877 and nothing else

[8Reales]

Hit the park this morning, an area that has yield some really nice IHPs in the past. To my surprise the ground was solid as a rock, some areas were diggable, I was pulling nothing but trash, iron, foil, and nails. I then get a bouncy tone at 8 inches deep, I'm thinking more deep good sounding iron.
To my surprise this little green gem pops out, Im thinking let it be an Indian, i have pulled some deep wheats from this area as well. An an indian it was, As i clean the obverse with my thumb, I was surprised to see the last two digits of the date 77, At the point i decided not to clean anymore, packed up and the decided to call it a day with my lone keeper, but what a keeper it is.

If there is an IHC that everyone wants, the 1877 is it. A big congrats for digging that Key Date coin which is in great shape. I got a banner for mine and feel your's is just as great of a find. I am voting Banner. I also recommend you do not clean it by more than rinsing it with water.
