Found a beautiful '05 in the 4th roll of the $25 Brinks box I got this morning!! It's my first indian, despite over 2 years of roll hunting!! It's also the second oldest coin I've ever found roll hunting. Liberty on the headband is still partially visible!! YAY!! I'm about 75% finished with the box; cu % is slightly below average, though I've already pulled 8 wheats (including one in the very first roll I opened and a well worn '29D). Once the box is finished, I'll post all the totals and stats in the tracking threads section. Just wanted to share my good fortune!!
Hey, nice find. Welcome to the club. You say this was your second oldest; what coin beat it? Congrats on the find, keep them coming.

Corsair- My oldest crh find to date (I started searching in the fall of 2008) is the EF 1883 no cents V nickel I found in late 2008. Weird thing is, I found this less than a month after I began roll hunting. Weird or just a wicked case of beginners luck? You decide.
Nice find. I found one myself recently--a 1900 in vg condition.
