Who's sue? Just kidding. I know you meant sure.Congrats on an amazing find! Bucket list coin for sue!
My buddy GoldBill posted a beautiful 1875 CC minted 20cent piece on this site about two years ago ! No Banner for him ! This site never ceases to confound me in what makes Banner ! MaineRelic
I figured it out when it appeared at the top.
I have just begun detecting and my yard has been great. House built in 1828. Finds in my yard to date:
3 large cents, including an 1801 error (unfortunately it has a hole in it)
3 Indian heads
A standing liberty quarter
The 1875 20 cent piece
Many wheats and clad
A silver spoon engraved with the house builders wife maiden name. I had it dated to 1790's. The handle is intact, but much of the bowl is missing. Still nice to have something from the original owners family.
But my favorite is a horse check tag from a famous ballroom down the street. It opened in the 1890's and they must have checked in horses like we do coats.

I'm no expert but based on the fact it is a first year issue, rare and limited production and the condition....WOW! The word "Liberty" on the obverse is clearly readable.
I'm betting that 20 cent piece is worth $2000+ Well done and well deserved banner!!

Wow, I'm amazed you live in a home built in 1828.
From a historical real estate perspective that is just fascinating.
I have a 1879 corner store 4 plex in Galveston Texas that I've been waiting for historical funds for a complete rehab now for almost 5 years.
Only one apartment is occupied, and that particular tenant serves as as handyman also.
The building is built extremely well, but the construction is completely different then what you would see today in every possible way.
Did you rehab your home, or was it in good condition when you first acquired / leased it?
