Found my first Indian head penny today!

[detectorben]

Went back to the same pounded park I have been working at the last 2 weeks. It was tough sledding but I managed to squeeze out 2 more wheat pennies and my first IHP. It's an 1877 which also makes it my oldest dug coin to date. Unfortunately I also gauged it with my digger because it was on the edge of my hole. It's not silver but it was still exciting.

Great coin I like putting all mine in cases!!!!! I have stabbed Roosevelt and Washington we learn from it. Looks like you have a good hunting area. Thanks for the post hope to see many more. Tommy

Ouch!!! Nice IHP, especially for a first, but that gouge was worth about $200, or more.

Cats outta the bag I didn't want to be the one to tell him the value of that coin eeeehhhhh!!!!!!! The one thing to remember is a coin dug is considered ED enviornmentally damaged so its value is considerably less That's what they say anyway if that takes some of the sting away!!!!!

Holy cow sorry for the gouge, that's probably a 1000.00 injun that's mortally wounded, congrats on your find

Things happen don't kick yourself to much dug coins are not as valuable they say!!!!!! You will find many more great coins and rings. I'm sure it still has value.. Keep her in a nice coin holder and you will always be able to show people your great find. Ive stabbed a Tiffany ring and a gold ring which I could have sold for more than melt but trust me you will find more great stuff just read all the finds on here!!!!!!!Till your next find my friend!!!

Yeah that is what my wife said lol. I am still excited to add it to my collection and it will be a reminder to be extra careful when digging in old soil especially.

congrats on your first indian. a key date to boot! the coin looks like it is in good condition as well, minus the little shovel kiss.

 

[texjim]

Awesome first Indian. Wont be the last coin you ever stab. Congrats.

 

[sgtled3533]

Ahhhhhh!!!! An 1877 for a first IHP dig! Wow!!!! Man, without that gouge, that was a $500-$600 coin. But oh well, it's a nice coin for the collection. Most people will never dig an 1877. Very low mintage and very rare! Even with the shovel kiss, still a great coin. I'll give ya $100 for it [emoji4]

 

[Relicific]

Still waiting for my first IH.
Congrats on your first

Hey, would you rather find it and gouge it, or never find it at all.
