Found her just moments ago. 1886 under my best eye. She's a little bent and a
tad worn.......but she's all mine.
I can't say how many I had to go through for us to meet.....but it was all worth it.

Nice find! I'm so jealous
I wonder how many more pennies I must sort before I find my first one. I know I've sorted through at least couple thousand dollars already, yet nothing

Thanks guys. Corsair, I started sorting pennies when you where low enough to the ground to pick them up without bending over; and this is my first EVER.
I have alot of catching up indeed.

Found while freeing coin from rolls pre-sort of the Ryedale. Stuck out like a sore thumb. Still smiling.

Got it hand sorting from Wells Fargo.

I thought that 1 a week was average.
Funny how we get excited about finding an IH.

Nice!
I lucked out and found one after only a few $100 face sorted...now I've sorted a lot more and still haven't found one.

I bet $5 that your dad salted your bag... tired of hearing your complaints about WV not having any Indians

Way to go, I've found 2 IH, but no pre-1900's. Keep up the good work.

You could probably post that one on your metal detecting thread.
Someone dug it up at some point over the last 125 years.

Found my first IH back in 1973. Found my second in 2010. Hope you don't have to wait that long for your next IH!
