Thanks all. I really thought I'd be knocking a Barber or seated quarter off my list first. My question is why did they switch to the IHP after only two years of the FE

A toast to you Toasted for the datable Flying Eagle. Every time a pop out a dirt encrusted penny I try to will it to be one of those rare beauties. So far mine have all turned out to be Indian Heads. Maybe one these days...

I've found 50 Indian heads so far but not one early fatty. I just assumed I'd find one before I got a flying eagle. Funny thing is my friend found a fatty IHP at this site on Friday
