| I found my first indian about 3 weeks ago. It was so worn and pitted the date is totally obliterated. Still, very exciting to me. Then, about a week later I found my second - a 1902 in nice condition. -js |

Found my first ever IH. BWR. A somewhat dirty 1906 in F - VF condition.
Been collecting coins since I was a little kid, and I have NEVER owned an Indian Head until now.
Best way to get them, FV out of circulation.
Shhh, the story I am telling my 3 year old is that he found it. He opened the roll, so that counts. |
Grandpa always told me, "Back in 1964..." I listened.
Selling copper cents @ $2.50/lb. + shipping. |

| Finally!!! I got my first indian of the year today. 1888. Got it from $100 in CWR that I got in Ohio last week. It was looking very depressing. Had only found 5 wheats and then I say her. |

congratulations on all the recent finds, guys!  Feels good, doesn't it? Sometimes I wish I could freeze the moment of discovery, as it lays there mingled among its copper brethren, so that I could view it from various angles, enjoying them all. But I'm always too quick to grab it and inspect if from my hand, ruining all the fun. Can't help myself though.  My turn should be coming up again in another million sorts or so.  |
Hoard now and hold on!

| I know what you mean beauanderos, those Indians really jump out at you when see them laying on table. Every time I find one I can't believe there is any left in circulation. |

I have been working a $25 box I picked up last week from BofA, dumping the pennies out of their plastic roll wrappers into a broad cardboard box originally used to carry six-packs of coca-cola. Last night in my garage I was finishing the unwrapping process, spilling each new roll out on the pile. This way they're spread out enough so I can visually inspect for Wheats and Queens. I was just thinking to myself that I haven't seen many wheats in this box when something different caught my eye, half-buried.
At first I thought I was seeing maple leaves, and so I picked it up casually to drop in the baby-food container for foreign coins. But when I grabbed it it was definitely an oak wreath I was looking at. I was still thinking "foreign coin" (I have no idea why) until I turned it over and saw lady Liberty's proud profile and headdress. The date...1897. A bit of black gunk at the bottom, but otherwise a decent F-VF specimen. So they DO exist in the wild!
I frantically unwrapped the rest of the rolls; not a single wheat and one 1970's Queen. I went into the house to wash the gunk off. Unfortunately it was about 10:30PM and the whole house was dead quiet. Even my wife was asleep with TV on and her glasses still on. I didn't say anything about it this morning; you are the first to know, Comrade.
Beau-and-eros, there is a way to freeze the moment of discovery; write about it! Enjoy your searches, everyone! |

Okay Zyll, you figured out my name. What does yours mean? Congratulations on your find, and thanks for sharing in detail so we could vicariously enjoy it with you. How apropos is this? Here I go to post my latest and get to kill two birds with one stone I just posted this under zombies, so I won't repeat myself too much here. Found a half-dead indian just now, almost can't even read the date of 1903. The condition of the cent is so poor, that rather than be elated that I even found it, I was disappointed it was in such grave condition.  |
Hoard now and hold on!

It was a text-adventure game on the PC Jr. in 1982...my avatar picture is the cover art for the game. The Evil Sorcerer Zyll was the bad guy with his mysterious black orb.

I was starting to wonder if I would see a wild one ever again after my last 10 months ago. Then up pops a fair 1909 plain.
That makes 5 total in the last 3 years or one for every $520 dollars searched. |

Does this count?
Loomis paper wrappers. 1905. No, I don't have a rolling machine. No I didn't tamper with anything and put it in there. It's been a pretty good few days searching for me.

That's a cool photo. You have accomplished what no else has, to capture a wild Indian on film.
Congrats.

Yeah, it's funny. My dad seems to usually be over when I find my cool findings. He wasn't here for this one, and he feels left out.
