Stopped at a small town park I have never hunted before over lunch today. First deep coin signal was hitting in the wheat penny range. I dug it out and was surprised to see a nice green indian staring back at me. I couldn't see the date so I hit it with my water spray bottle and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the date. 1877!!. This is my second 1877 indian head now. I dug one last year and unfortunately I scratched it good with my digger. Not this time! This one survived unscathed and it is in pretty good condition too. Only had about 30 minutes to hunt but I found this and a 1918 wheat penny so I am very pleased with the results. 20190904_114448.jpg 20190904_170254.jpg 20190904_170241.jpg

Thanks!Thanks! I knew they wouldn't grade it but I was thinking of getting it slabbed to protect it.Thanks! I agree!Haha Thanks!!Thanks!!Thanks a lot!!Thanks!!Thanks!!

Congratulations on a great find and for getting up on the Banner!

They will grade it to some extent, here's one on eBay that has environmental damage and "graded" "XF Detail" by PCGS, it's in a tiny bit better condition than your's but not by much, they're asking $2000 for it, you may want to watch it and see what it eventually sells for.

I found one once many moons ago, but you had to turn it just right to read the date. Yours is a beauty, congrats.
