#8! YAY! Entirely too happy right now. Was sorting through an average bag, amazing how 1 coin can change your entire outlook! Saw the wreath, made my week! Didn't have to wait another 800k! And, got to wait to check the date until the end of the bag (just to let myself dream about it being 1860s). Newest one I've found, not complaining, but was hoping 18--. Still quite happy, and 2 more bags to sort!

Also, been pulling George VI's out a LOT lately, think 12 in my last 10 bags now (vs 40 in my first like 200 or so).

Can't complain about that, and my 14th from the Bahamas:

Killing me. It has been at LEAST $2k since my last IH. Maybe I need to up the volume. Congrats. Very nice finds!

Awesome find. That's a high that I know of for IHC.

What are you doing with your George VI??

Nice Rosco, this is #8 over what time frame period, or out of many cents? 800k since the last one, or was it 800k for all 8-finds. Either way, congrats on capturing the Indians before the next war.[emoji106][emoji3]
Time to smokem peace pipe, ugh & how.

8th Indian Head since I started searching, so since March 15th 2018, 1,173,000 cents searched. 1 for every 146,625 cents, though I did find 3 in one bag, so probably closer to 1/234,600 cents... I did have 3 in my original collection too, from my grandparents.

Ironically enough, I just found my 2nd Indian cent earlier this week (after 285,000 searched since my first). Sure wish that feeling when you spot the rim would come about a bit more often!
Congrats Rosco!

Hmm. Maybe I’m due soon then, it’s been a while. Know what’s disheartening? I just bought 100 of them on eBay for $84 delivered.

Rim? The edge of the outter rim I'm guessing?

Yeah, I've been HORRIBLY tempted to purchase some a few drunken evenings on ebay. That site should come with a breathalyzer...

That's a decent price. I try to find them for $0.80 each if they have dates. You got 100 for $0.85 each. That is good.

I think that it was ok, 84 cents a piece, they are all G or lower in grade, so they’re junk. I was at the local coin show this afternoon and someone had similar quality ones for a buck a piece, so I can’t complain too much I don’t think
