My 12 year old son found these in the backyard and went crazy. Remarkable condition, for 1902, 1903 and 1907.

The absolutely best kind of IH Cents are the ones from right in the backyard! The soil has treated them kindly all these years...WTG! :thumbsup:

One would think, but he pulled them out of the ground as you see them. I was amazed. They do look like they came out of container. He was so happy. Please see my other post, you might be able to shed some light on our finds. The one looks like a small caliber bullet halved. Thanks for all input.
