Found a tribe of Indians today!

[Generic_Lad]

Todays $25 penny box produces 11 wheats and 4(!) Indian Heads. Dates on the Indian Heads are 1886, and 1902 (x3). All of the Indian Heads seem to have come out of the same collection? They all have the same strange golden-ish patina, I suspect they all have been cleaned, no part of Liberty is showing on any of them. What is odd is that this came out of a sealed String and Son box and the low amounts of wheats when compared to Indian heads are odd. Pics to come later, I tried taking a few pics with my cell phone and they didn't come out well at all, even worse than my usual pictures, so I'm going to try to borrow a friends digital camera and see if I can get better pics up. Most Indians I've ever found in a box, and even dollar per dollar wise better than my collection dump bag I scored a few weeks ago for Indian Heads.

nice finds. I''d love to find an IH. So far my earliest cent is a 1925 wheat I found just a few weeks ago. I also found a reddish '55S a few months ago which was nice.
