  Shocked  WOW!!  What a great find!! A beautiful 1877S Trade Dollar and in great condition, too!  Not being able to tell how well it would grade, I would estimate its value at around $150.00 give or take .....not too bad!!  

It is definitely a keeper!!   Grin

Really nice one. I have an 1876 CC Trade Dollar but mine is fake. Sure does look real though. Congrats on your find. That is awesome.

NICE !!!  Great find.  Congratulations.  Check out the link below for a little info.  Makes you wonder how it got there.  I Think I would still be passed out on the river bank if I had dug that out of the ground.   Grin

Om Gosh Jughead, that is such a fantastic find if we had a banner I would put it on it. How in the world did you make it back to your car after finding that coin. I am like BarberDimeMike I would still be trying to crawl out of the woods. That is sweet and you figured out how to post the pictures. You did good!!!!!!
