I don't do a lot of Penny Boxes But....

I'm pretty sure this has the looks of a decent one?

Pretty sure that's an IHP ender?

Maybe I should list this box in the KSA tomorrow? :lol:

You got a scout there! Time to round up an idian or two.

DB,

You sound like the speaker for Dos Equis, "I don't always sort pennies, but when I do, I prefer IHC enders".

I only found one of these in all my days of sorting, congrats!

I haven't opened the box yet. I'll open it up tonight and run it through the Ryedale to at least get the zincs out to make looking through them easier.

Nice to have you posting again. Did you get tired of posting your half hunting successes? Also keep an eye on the zinc pile and sort it even after to check for other IHC's.

It actually is time consuming to post the results of all of my boxes and lately I've been very very short on time. I may be able to start posting the half box results in June or July.

I usually run first with a zinc accept then with a copper accept, giving me 3 buckets - 1 zinc, 1 copper and 1 other (usually dimes, wheats, Canadians & other foreign) - Wouldn't an IHP end up in the other bucket in that scenario?

People here will tell you multiple answers. But in my experience certain coins like IHCs and very early wheats tend to negate all logic. Some go in the copper accept others in the zinc or in your case the other bucket.

Never hurts to check afterwards if you have the time.

I actually get Canadian enders with almost every box I open. This box only had that 1 Indian in it, a 1900 in what I'd consider VERY nice shape. Also pulled 21 Wheats and ~ 30 Canadians (which is about average # of Canadians for my boxes so far).

I was opening some more boxes last night and out popped another Indian! This one an 1887 that some fool punched a small hole through the top.

Nice little run of boxes there db! Keep assembling your Indian tribe, I have recently started holding regular pow wows with the Indians I have plucked! ;)

You've hit a vein. Go back and buy out the rest of their boxes. :mrgreen:

That's more Feathered Liberties than many members see in a year. You have been engaging in that late night special dance involving significant amounts of feathers on your naked body, haven't you? :mrgreen:
