Well I joined this hobby and this board less than two weeks ago and during that time I have hand shorted over (14) 25$ boxes. Today while sorting the 14th box I came across my very first Indian Head. It was a 1900. It took searching over 33,000+ pennies to come across it. Frankly I was very surprised to find one and it served to increase my enthusiasm for this hobby. I have been picking up two $25 boxes a day but the Indian has sparked my enthusiasm so tomorrow I will grab three boxes instead of two!!! Don out of California

Bully! and Welcome!

It's always a thrill, like a jackpot!

Great pickup. Welcome to the club. Those IHC have a way of boosting morale to keep searching.

congrats sir !

i'll never forget the thrill when i found my first...

That is really neat.

Congratulations on the wild Indian! I have yet to come across one. Can't wait for the day! Welcome to the board!

Only 33,000 searched! You are a lucky man.

Hope that you don't wait that long for you next one.

Congrats!!!

After more than two years of enjoying this hobby, I'm closing in on 125,000 searched and I still have yet to find one in my searches. Through the kindness of some on this forum, I do have a few in my possession, but have yet to experience the thrill of finding one in a roll I am searching.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

Cool find. It's always an eye opener when one of those Indian Heads pop up! I've been lucky to find my share and it's never gets old to find these!

I found my first indian in my 2nd or 3rd box.........done over 50 boxes now and haven't found/noticed another one yet.............the first few boxes I hand sorted before I built my automatic penny sorter using a happ controls cube hopper and a coin comparitor out of a old slot machine.

My son found a 1902 yesterday in our first brinks box,we were just getting $10 worth of rolls a time before.so I think we hit our first indian head in after handsearching about 8000 coins....

congratulations, may you find many more to increase your tribe.
