Nice finds, I know a guy who has more Indians then he knows what to do with, I remember the first one my son found, you would have thought it was gold. I like your green patina, looks good. I love finding those IH cents, that one would make my oldest too and make my day also.

5 of the last 6 wheats I found came out so green, I was really begging for an IH, but.....Still not an Indian on my finds list. Congrats to you!

Nice one! It's always a good day when you start to turn up the older IH's. Always a chance for a semi-key or key date to pop up.
