How hard is the V nickel and IH to get...

[ugotit22]

Hey guys
I have been seeing alot of the Indian Heads lately and i just wanted to get your imput. i do alot of pennies and nickels. I hit the elusive V nickel last week, now i set my sights on the indian. How hard is it to get the V and indian. IS it more likely for the V then the indian or did i just get lucky.

Gman searches the most coins, so his averages would be the best- http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,208448.0.html

From my experience, I believe its easier to get a V-Nickel than it is to get an Indian Head. I have found 2 of each, so I guess there is no hard evidence to back up my statement. But it has been a long time since I got an Indian Head. The deciding factor is what is in your area at any given time.

I have never found any CRHing, but I have a few of both.

Last years V-Nickel numbers were skewed high (I had 4 of the 7 found in one bag).

Also a lot depends on where you search, some areas are more likely to have them than others.

I was wondering the samething. So I started a Non-Silver Collective Total thread to see how many of each are found. I hope every adds there # to it so we can get a good indication on how frequently they will pop up.

I found 7 V's and 19 IH's last year.
2.2 mil pennies searched. Far fewer nickels seached- $5K or so.

I have never found either but I'm guessing very very hard to find both.
