New thread to track indian head finds for 2009. I wouldn't think I would have to start this so soon but highroller4321 already seems to have found 2 today. With one being slightly after midnight. That it like a woman scheduling a Csection at midnight to have the first baby born in the new year!
2009 Total indian heads found 208 and 7/8
We have now surpassed the total number of finds listed for all of 2008!
Current largest tribe for 2009 is 31 by Oly1oly1

I thought I might have the first for 2009, but I see highroller already has two. Anyway, I'm happy to say I just found an 1899 Indian. It's a nice looking coin, I'd grade it a strong vg.
I ran a zinc keep through the ryedale, and ran a quick visual look through for wheats and oddities, and there it was. |

Must
Sort
More |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

Found my first IH for the year. It has been so long since I found one I was beginning to think maybe I was under the influence of a "pathogen".
Unfortunately, it looks like someone spray painted it gold, then glued it to something.

If that is true that there is one indian head for every 250,000 pennies there ahould be about 800,000 indian heads out there somewhere.
Total pennies in existance 200,035,318,672
1 Indian head for every 250,000 pennies
equals 800,000 indian heads
Sounds like alot but there are a crap load of pennies out there! |

That's better. How can we believe that they found them? |

Well, well, well. I don't typically ask for pennies at this particular branch as they are, shall we say, less than friendly. But, the other day I did and they had a whopping $8 worth. Glad I got them. I was opening the rolls and checking for the nasty coins. In the first roll I found a 1903. Third ever for me. I've left the other rolls alone.

Whew...first of the year. 10k pennies and this was 2nd to the last group of my zinc hand sort. I've had the Ryedale 2 months now. Found a 1907 in late December and this is first of the new year. Not too shabby. Found it in a large group of customer wrapped rolls.

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your find. How many have you sorted to find it?

This thread proves that there is no cure for the wild indian pathogen. You guys are still sick, and there still is no cure.
I wish I could comment more on the non-existence of wild indians, but I cannot. I have had back trouble since last May which resulted in surgery a couple of weeks ago. My sorting has been greatly curtailed as a result of not being able to lift any boxes. I have to plead and cojole to get my wife to get me an occasional nickel box. Accordingly, since I am not sorting pennies, I do not feel "entitled" to visit here on occasion and tell you all that you are just sick and are daydreaming about wild indians. By the way, most of us grew out of the "wild indian belief" stage when we quit playing cowboys and indians as children.
At least Misteroman is still a faithful Rational Thinker. |

Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

| Found my second of the year already! I can't believe it. In the second roll of the bag to boot. It's a VG 1888. I'll take that "Oldest IH" award, thank you very much. |

I just found my first Indian Head Penny Wow! It took about 350k or so to find this one. I found it while opening the wrappers into the box before sorting them. Its a beat up 1907, but its an Indian!
And honestly, I was starting to think people dont find Indians in the wild anymore. I guess now I will have to start believing |
