🥇 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.

digging440yrs Thank you, with this date, I hope of one day completing a dug set, there are other tough dates to come about.

 

[8Reales]

I will tried that, thanx Loco

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.

Hi 8Reales; Sweet Find. I believe it is in XF 20 Condition. But due to the corrosion you must take it down one Grade to about a VF 30 ok. Not much difference in the value of the 2 Grades so your not losing much on it ok. BANNER all day long. Vote is in. PEACE:RONB

PS: Your Header Title says 1"9" 77. !!! lol.

Is it possible to send that in for professional "conservation" through PCGS or NGC - ? looks to be in nice condition !

 

[JackalopeZL1]

No Brainer to send it in for sure!! That is where he will get the real value out of it
