Just sorting some cwr and i found a roll of all wheats... whoops.. one is a 1893 indian! Poor shape, but thats OK,, #2 for me... off to work with a smile ..

good job. Isn't strange how something worth .50c can put a smile on your face!

I remember my first injun. Love capturing them from the wild. Congrats!

nice find!!!

Nice find... I'm still on the hunt for my first

Nice find!

Keep looking cause they're still out there. Either by going round and round in circulation all these years
or by folks taking their change jars to the bank. I've found 3 IH's in the wild this year. Alot of people
out there don't even know what a IH is and wouldn't know what it was if they found them in their change.
Probably think it was a token or something along those lines. I've got the post office and several stores
in town on the watch for them and I had to show them what one looked like so they'd know what one was
if it ever passes lands in their cash drawer.

I am still finding one in every 15 boxes or so. Not bad, I guess.

snagged another one last night. 05 in G.

Wow, that often? I've done hundreds of boxes and... none.

The thrill of the hunt I have one from the wild an very happy for it
As long as you don't scalp it Every one is happy

Congrats I'm still waiting to find my 1st one

Got my second one tonight. 1896 in AG. Found it in a Brinks box that is running about 29% (normal average around here is about 24-25%). I am also averaging about one wheat cent per roll. One other funny thing about this box is that every roll also averages a BU 1959 - 1964.
I got one IH in November and one in December of this year.

Congrats! Finds like that always push me to sort more.

Mut, you're pulling 50 wheats out of a box? You must have boxes from the 80' s lol

Not every box. Just this one. One of the rolls had three wheat cents a few have been in the teens and 20s. The box also had about 1 BU per roll from 1959-1964. It is not from the 80s because there are some 2011 shield cents in there as well. I think somone found grandpas jar of pennies and dumped them and they got processed with the other circulated stuff. You know, kind of the opposite of when you get the portion of someones zinc dump. I had a NF String box that was running about 12-15 copper per roll until I got halfway through then I think I found about 10 more copper cents in the last $10.

It took me forever to find my first one, but I have been averaging 2 a month for the last few months and I do 8 boxes a week. I get a lot of wheats and Canadians too. I know I kinda have it made right now. I hope the streak continues. I do get a lot more dirty/sticky/green cents ever since my wheat/Indian percentages went up, but that's a fair trade in my book
