Congrats!

Still waiting for my first, although I'm less than two weeks into this new hobby.

Nice finds! This hobby/addiction is very rewarding when you find cool things like Indians or early wheats. How many dollars fv have you sorted up until now?

I'm impressed, not only with your first Indian find; but also with the number of your posts since you joined this February!

I found a 1904 Indian today; the second Indian in two weeks! I feel for some of you that have searched for years to no avail. I found these two in regular Brinks boxes, so nothing magical going on.

Once again Congrats, and as for your 1913 D; it is rare in its own right with a mintage of only 15 million.

Congrats! I've found two Indians early in my sorting days but haven't found one since. My best Lincoln to date is a '12d.

Congrats! Out here in the East bay near Frisco, I've found several Indian heads, including one in my first few penny rolls searched the day after I got here (I couldn't pull CWR's on the same day, as the flight came in after bank hours...hehe). I never found them back east or in the northeast. What do Californians do out here, throw them away??? That's fine by me, I'll take 'em. :) Lots of other stuff out here too. Anyway, this is your thread, so...congrats!

Nice find 8-)

I tried to wrangle one away from the donut guy yesterday but he wouldn't bite. Guess I taught him too well.
