Managed to Cross Off a Milestone Today. Found My First Indian Head.

Unfortunately it's in really rough shape, guess the 5% zinc is no more heh. Interestingly enough on the Ace 250 it rang up just under the penny notch.

Congratulations, love IH's myself. I have only found one and although the back is good the front is totally crusted and can't get a date yet.

I love your Indian Head Cent. Something about that design I really really like!

I've only found one IH penny. It has a slick back and some crud on the front. But I could get the date off of it. Congrats on your first one.

Yes, that is a quirk of the Ace 250. I've found 6 IHC's and all of them were found when I was detecting in "jewelry" mode. Not sure why they would ring up differently than Lincoln cents, but they definitely do.

That IH is in good shape compared to most of the ones I dig. Congrats

Nice find! My first was a 1900 also. Now they'll start coming in troves!

 

[cjon455]

Sometimes they get toasty, that one's not too bad, and yes they do ring in lower than penny on most machines

Congrats on checking it off your list!

my one and only IH was several years ago, I was so excited to have found anything that was pre 1900, at the time I gave it to my parents to place in their safe to keep for me... my mother unfortunately, had the beginnings of dementia and who knows where it is now. now I hope to find a replacement so to speak (actually hundreds of them lol). congrats on your find, they are a very cool coin to find
