My first IH

My first IH is a 1863. Pictures to come later.

Lucky for me, the coin counter at my local bank is very picky and spits out anything that is even slightly to thick.

I can't post any pictures, the camera resolutions isnt high enough. But I can tell you that it is in G to VG condition. Honestly, only things missing are mint luster. Liberty on the headdress and finer details on the leafs.

I gave it to my brother in-law. He is 12 and has a very nice coin collection going. Figure it's the least I can do since he helps me sort coppers.

Wow, congrats. I think that throws you into first place for the earliest Indian Head found for the year. Check out the Indian Head tracking thread if/when it gets put up.

And, if it is a Fine then it is worth about $20.00 or so.

Congrats on the awesome find! Still waiting to find my first one while searching rolls of coins.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:

So as I am sifting through the Zinc pile putting them into empty penny boxes to return to the bank.

You'll always remember your first! Keep hunting and you'll eventually have your own tribe!
