Finally found an Indian Head Penny

Postby clarklsn2001 » Sun Mar 04, 2012 7:42 pm

Today I was feeding the ryedale while my 2 year old daughter was helping. She straight pulls out an indian head and starts saying dad look what I found. I was amazed as this is my first we've found. Its in 1899 so not too rare, but still a good find. They are still out there, I was starting to think there were no more in circulation.

She's has goods eyes. The deal is : You do the labor, she will do the picking. That's how it starts.

Way to go! Myself, I bagged two, which is odd because I'm a Canadian sorting Canuck rolls. I struck it lucky,

But I never found a 1909 wheatie, not even a plain one...
I did it. I've been crazy enough to sort through 10,000 rolls of pennies. Almost makes you think, "some people will do anything to build up a coin collection."

If she can already do this at two years old my friend, I forsee a very comfortable retirement for you when the time comes. Congrats! (on the coin too)

Great find. I need to get my 2-year-old searching for Indians b/c I certainly have not been that lucky. I have yet to find one. My wheat yield is low too, and I average 18 - 20% Cu. Hmmm, sounds like I am complaining....I'm not, just sharing the data.
