I couldn't think of anyone else to tell except you guys
I really wasn't sure I'd ever see one in the wild at this point! Been through only a few hundred dollars of boxes...

Yessir! By far the oldest... anything I've ever found. I know copper pennies are a good investment etc., but *this* is what made all this handsorting worth it to me. I'll probably never see a return on hand sorted pennies worth the time put into it, but I can enjoy this right now.

Feels pretty good doesn't it? Only problem is that is will fuel you to sort even more and yearn for that next IHC, and you be thumbing over thousands of coins looking for it

Congrats on the great find!
I still haven't found a wild Indian down here in southern California and probably never will.
Keep up the good work.
