A few more boxes today, and a little special prize!!!

[Shake-N-Bake]

Hello everyone,
I picked up two boxes of pennies, a box of nickels, and a box of dimes today. When I opened a box of pennies the was one that didnt look quit right.

I just found my first indian head penny.

I had to post it as soon as I took the picture so I don't have the total count of what is in the boxes. I will update as soon as I finish.

Happy Hunting,
Jason

Amazing find !! You have me tempted to try pennies.

 

[oracle]

Great find on the indian and on the older wheaties!

 

[STDevil]

Congrats on the find!!! I keep hoping to find an IH in my penny box searches, but the gods have not smiled upon me yet. I still get good loads of copper and wheats though, so I am not too unhappy.

I wonder if penny roll hunting will become a substitute for Half Roll Hunting when the silver finally dries up??

Happy hunting everyone!
