The day I find an IH here in Miami, no matter what the date, I'm bringing out the champagne!!! :yes:
 
Nice IH Jeff, too bad you missed the date by 1 year! Sort of like all those @#$% 1965 quarters and dimes, lol!
 
:lol: TK! 1876 IH is still nice. I had a good run going on the IH's earlier this year, now I'm in a slump. Good job!
 
Any Indian heads in the 60's and 70's are great to find. Tell us more about it. What were you using?How deep was it? I love to see them come our all green like that. :yes:
 
forgive my ignorance here but as i am not from the US is the 1877 a rare coin over there?
 
i see...similar to our 1933 penny then which is extremely rare..
 
Nice.
If you get a before and after shot, post it. Always like seeing them fresh out of the ground, then lightly cleaned up.

Would be worth between $500-700 in average dug condition.
With less than 1,000,000 strikes, it is indeed considered rare.
