Hi there
I have been viewing this site for ages but im a new member to this site. Well I work at a Credit Union and often get members who bring in rolled coins. All the tellers do, actually and I buy them from them and the come into my drawer. Well today was a typical day and bought about $150 from another tell and got busy going through them. I was surprised to find an odd looking coin(though maybe that it was Canadian) but grabbed it and saw right off that it was an indian head cent. That got my heart pounding and searched quickly for the date. At first I thought I was seeing things but I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that it was minted in 1859!!! this was the first year that the penny was minted. It truly was an amazing day.
