My first IH

[AlexTG]

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.

That's pretty good. Don't find the Civil War IH's too often. Congrats!!!

Wow! early IH there.

[AlexTG]

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.

full liberty on the headdress is at least a F just so you know

Just found my 5th one a 1893 in about F. Nice find.

full liberty on the headdress is at least a F just so you know

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.

Wonderful find! Congrats!
It's not too often that someone finds an indian that old in circulation. The sorting gods have blessed you...

[AlexTG]

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

I find another IH. 1898 in bad condition but still.

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