Nice going :clap: Find your first Indian yet? Usually takes searching about 250,000 pennies to find one.

Yes Beau, I've found 4 of them so far. My oldest is 1884. The first one I found is a 1907 and I think that it is in AU condition, nice coin! I was lucky to find it in a shotgun roll when I started penny sorting last year. But I think that your 1 in 250,000 is pretty accurate. Thanks!

You should post a photo of them. If you have a scanner that works great.

That's a good idea, I might do that.

Just did a bag of pennies with lots of dimes. Here is the breakdown:

84 dimes
5 nickels
1 quarter

I also had 14 what's which is a little above average for my area. I usually get around 10.

Although this was great bag with so many dimes, it doesn't beat my old record of 209 dimes in a single bag of pennies. Still feelin' pretty good!
