Pulled this nice example from a MWR last night. This is the highest grade example i've ever seen out of a roll. It's soaking in distilled water right now, the 1st of 3 steps to try to remove that green deposit. Had to be right from someone's collection book to my hands. Thanks for reading. MM2

Awesome IHP, MM2! I would keep the coin looking as natural as possible, the different colors add character to the coin, you're right, this is the best IHP example I've seen posted out of a MWR.

How did the rest of the box produce?

There was a nice sampling of wheats in it, one roll had a 1909 and a 1911 in it. The 1909 was a little beat up.
 
Sounds like a great box... keep on searching!
 
Congrats!

I found a 1913 T2 Buffalo nickel from MWR like that. Just right from someone's book to my hand.
 
Wow! That's an exceptionally nice IHP. Great find my friend.
 
Congrats. Coins like that feed the fire for the hobby. Glad to someone finding a very nice IHP like yours.
 
Absolutely amazing. There is something to be said about finding a treasure but that old in such fine shape in a modern roll is super exciting. Nice find. Thank you for sharing..
 
Amazing doesn't even describe that coin. Great find!!...Brad
