1897 INDIAN HEAD PENNY

[Ifoundit69]

I was sorting through my coinage I found in 2008 and trying to get a total and I saw this one coin stuck to another and after pulling them apart one was still covered n dirt, which I thought was odd considering I ussually clean off every single coin and check the dates before I toss them into my coin can for the year .I got the trusty tooth pick and started removing the dirt and I started reading "one cent" then the light went off in my head thats what it says on indian head cent and and I started to clean the front and low and behold I saw the head dress ... Which goes to show I guess its good to go through your findings every once in a while becuase you might have missed something ....

Nice recovery. If you can remember the site where these coins were found, it might merit another visit!

always do the same thing myself.. somtimes I have found things that when I dug them I couldnt identify, but after the season and maybe someone one here found one like it... I was able to know what I had found.. thats how I knew what my half of the confederate sword buckle was..... had no clue what that wreath could b until I saw it on here

I am coming up on 4 years at MDing and haven't found an Indian head yet. I know they are plentiful around here but I just haven't got my coil over one for some reason. M nty

WTG on your IH find. I always recheck my finds before I get rid of them. I put a few thing up to keep and spend the rest. My daughter everytime she goes out with me and we find enough she wants ice cream. What a great time when she is out with me...Matt
