found the chief key date indian head

cosmic · Sep 3, 2010

rayzhell (jr) and I decided to hit the old park again today.. We just had a nice rainfall over the last couple days, the first one in months.. We figured detecting should be good .. To us wet ground is better and it sure did pay off today... This is the same park we have found a 77 cc dime, 76 seated quarter, numerous indians and even a 1854 bowen and mcnamee token that we believe came out of Abraham Lincolns pocket.. Not to far from were Ray had found the token. he was swinging today and got a nice high signal.. Well at about 6-7 inches comes an indian head.. All he could make out was his nose.. Luckily we were only a few feet from the parks water fountain and did just a rinse .. Man, was Ray surprised when i told him that it was an 1877 indian head.. Sorry no reverse pictures yet we have it sitting in r.o. water now.. Thinking of sending it in as it sits.. Maybe let them clean it..

Ummm,

Hi !!

My 2010 Red Book say's a 1877 IH penny in the worst listed condition of G-4 is worth $900.00

I do NOT suggest you clean this coin any more!! :tongue3:

Send it in to get graded and cleaned by a professional at the grading company. :icon_thumleft:
