Anyone Ever Find A Fatty Indian Head CRH?

[Philmont_709n2]

Every now and then one of us gets lucky and finds and indian, i myself have found one 1891 in a roll, but what about the fat early ones? will the coin machines reject them thinking they are foreign or will the go in the roll?

Who knows what you are going to get in machine wrapped rolls. Yesterday in a *sealed* box of nickels i got a penny. In MWR of dimes i sometimes get the very think British Pence coins. It seems like there are a lot of types of coin rolling machines, and some of them just put whatever fits into the roll.

No Indians yet for me...perhaps my first one will be a fatty!

1908 but it is not a fatty one.

I was blessed with a Fatty Indian Head. I let my wife touch and feel when she feels the need to.

By "fat" Indian head, I think they mean the ones from 1859-1864 with the copper-nickel alloy composition. They are thicker than normal bronze cents.

Oh, ok!

I got two in a customer roll of pennies that contained 55 IHCs a couple years ago. Never found one in a machine roll but have found a few of the bronze IHCs in them.

I found an 1859, in VF, after 1.5 boxes. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/c...5-1859-indian-head-penny-found-bank-roll.html
