I just found my 1st Indian Head Penny!!!!!!!! 1899 pix added

[treasurefiend]

I am sitting here at my night job doing the worst box of pennies. I am 2/3 way through the box and I only found 3 Wheaties when out pops an 1899 Indian Head penny!!!!!!! I don't have my camera with me but when I get home I will post a pix!!! It is pretty beat up but its my 1st IH from CRH'ng!!!!!!!!!!! This penny box has been it the trunk of my car for about a week now - LOL!!!!

Ok I just finnished the box. In the last 15 rolls there were an additional 5 Wheaties. So this box wound up having 1 IH and 8 Wheats.

It took me 5 months, 464 Wheaties in 43 boxes to get my first IH!!!!

Heck yea!!!! I was going pretty fast and when I first seen it for a split second I thought it was an older Canadian, but then I got a good look at it.

Thanks guys, I knew that I would find one eventually but it was a shocker when an oldie is sitting there looking up at you!!!! LOL It was the same way with the Barber, we all hope to find one and when I did I just couldn't beleave it!!!! Its amazing to me that a 110 year old coin can still be found out in circulation....
