Who needs silver when you find a 1908-S Indian Head Cent!!!

[oddcoins]

Hello everyone!

I'm taking off of work this week to do some detecting before the family
starts rolling into town for Thanksgiving. I met up with Wayne today
and we drove up north to do some detecting. We had a great day even
though we didn't find any silver coins. Wayne dug a Buffalo nickel and
several wheat cents ~ I haven't yet heard from him regarding the dates.
Here's what I dug today:

1908-S Indian Head Cent
1891 Indian Head Cent
1942 Nickel (Not War type)
Ten Wheats ~ 12, 17-S, 17-S, 20-S, 21-S, 29-S, 32-D, 44-S, 45-S, & 49-S
5 clad quarters
9 clad dimes
34 Memorial cents
1940 Canadian Cent

On the drive up there Wayne was telling me that years ago he dug a
1908-S Indian Cent, and a friend of his has dug four of them over the
last several years. I told him that I'd never found one . . . . . then
just a few hours later I dig one ~ WOOHOO!!! That's WEIRD!!

I know that the 1932-D Wheat cent isn't too big of a deal, but it's a first for
me. I've never dug a 1931, 1932, or 1933 Wheat cent before ~ today I
get to "check off" 1932!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

That's a nice find! On another note you mentioned: there aren't a lot of 1932 wheats found, at least that I've seen on this forum. I posted one within the last year (maybe in the spring) and got replies that indicated that they're just not found much. If you look at the mintage numbers, you'll see why. In several years of coin roll hunting back in the '70's, my brothers and I collected about 8500 wheats; only one was a 1932. I saw one the other day while going through some coins my aunt has. At 9 million or so made, they're scarce.

Nice looking '08 IH and the '32 wheat is one you don't find very often here.
Good luck on the hunt today. Gold Nuggets

I live in Eugene Oregon ~ several of us in our club have been taking the 45 minute drive up to Corvallis (Home of Oregon State University). We like detecting the city easements in the older neighborhoods ~ that piece of land in between the curb and side walk.

Hey Neil, the "S" mint Injun is a great find!!

I've got two '08 S Injuns in my detecting collection, in addition to an '09 S that I found this year.

Few, if any, have a chance of finding the early and low "S" mintage coins in the Midwest, and back East. That's a benefit of living in the West!!

Congrats,

Great finds, Neil!

I was wondering what you were going to do for an encore after 100 silver coins, and I guess maybe it's old and rare cents! Hmm, can a 1914-D or a 1909-S VDB be far off? Silver is still prettier, but it's very exciting to find those old cents as well.

All the best,

Mike

All I want to find before the year ends is an Indian head......


Good job and nice find!

That's a great find on top of 100 silver for the year. WTG. I don't think we will be finding any S indians in this neck of the woods, I did find a 1901 yesterday though. HH

Hey oddcoins.....AWESOME!!! I do have to ask you, what do you use to take those closeups of the coins. Is it a microscope of some sort? Need to get me one of those!!

 

[treasurefiend]
