Well, today it finally happened, I found an Indian while sorting! It's a 1908, and in pretty rough shape, but an Indian none the less. I guess all those late nights and feathers finally paid off!
I got 4 indians in a $100 loose bag from a credit union lobby machine yesterday. All an about the same shape you could still see some feather detail on the best one, the rest were pretty flat, but not crusty or dirty.
1888 1897 1898 1905
I've got to check the 1888 for a 8 over 7 error. Probably not. Also got a 1921 S and you could still see the wheat ear details. Pretty happy with that group.
I know it's not fair to get 4 in one bag, but it might just be another accidental drop. Still love sorting.
