Rough looking Indian Head

[ObverseDiversion]

I managed to pull my oldest indian head cent from a box, an 1866. She's nothing to look at, but pretty impressive to pull out of circulation.

Other keepers from that box: 10, 19s, 36, 36, 41, 45, 46, 50d, 51d, 51d, 52d, 53d, 56d, 56d, 57d, 57d

I've been trying the 1941-1974 Whitman wheat cent folder, and am a couple S mint coins away, with exception to the steel cents. I haven't pulled any steelies out of circulation yet. Has anybody had any luck getting them from manufacturer rolls? I know a lot of the machines pull magnetic coins out, but I still seem to find plenty of magnetic Canadian coins.

wow, that's an old coin. congratulations, great find. I have never found one close to that old.

have found a ton of steel cents. most of them have been in the reject bin of the TD bank coin machine. I found 22 one day alone.

congrats again, happy hunting.

I'm just going to go to a coin shop and buy the 6 that I need for my 2 books. It seems that I find 0 in my rolls.
