Wild Indian Sighting
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 3:36 pm
Hand sorter here...took up this hobby about 2 years ago, started keeping records about 1 1/2 years ago.
In going through $10 of pennies I picked up today, I found a slightly beaten up 1901 IH.
It took 28,500 pennies to find my first IH in the wild since I started with sorting (I saw an occasional IH in the wild as a kid). Hopefully, the next one will come soon, but from reading the board, wild Indian sightings are rare (approx every 250,000 according to some posters here).
Hopefully, today's IH was just a scout and a tribe will follow him
