🥇 BANNER No silver but I cant complain about this indian head penny!

[detectorben]

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.

That is an amazing find there and pretty crazy that it's your second one. I love how they come out of the ground nice and green. Now I've found a couple IHP's with more detail than this but they always have a hint of corrosion somewhere on the coin where it looks almost chalky... it bothers me! Your coin looks amazing and basically perfect so huge congrats! I'm voting banner on this!

Thanks!! I was wondering the same thing I will have to research it. I know I found another indian with the N like that which was considered a variation.
