Wheat War # 39 Dad vs Tanner wins with help from the tribe

[gordon and tanner]

Our war was lots of fun this week. Tanner was the victor his $25 box of cents obtained from a BoA along 8 mile in Detroit contained 1 Indian Head 1882 (In 1882 only one square mile of the entire world had electricity, also the oldest coin we have found CRH) 11 common Wheats and one Starfish Bahama cent. The Indian Head was only the 2nd one that we have found in the wild. Dad $25 box of customer rolled cents came from Huntington Bank in Warren, MI contained a good variety. 12 Wheats (oldest 1920s) a 1937 and 10 common wheats. He also scored 5 dimes, 1 King George VI (1943) and one Bahama Starfish cent.

We score Indian Heads as 10 Wheats

Keep on Searching

Halves have been kind of slow this moth. I have not had that much time to make many bank stops.

Where I come from George VIs are about as common as wheats and George Vs are as rare as Indians although they are newer.
Great job guys. I couldn't imagine finding a coin that old. And nice George VI, how many have you found total?

I like your comment about electricity. Makes you realize just how old these things are when you envision how people lived then.

Excellent, excellent finds, I always enjoy your posts and, may I say, what an awesome hobby to share with your son.

Great earlier dated Indian, it appears Liberty is still visible on the head band.

On the 20-s Wheat, is that a lamination peel above the date?.....If so, very cool error.

HH all!
