I thoght it might be interesting to start a thread just for reporting Indian Heads.
I found my third today. It is a 1893. I found it in a Brinks box. This is my third. I have sorted a total of $1200 face since starting in Jan. I found the last one 2 weeks and $200 ago.

| This thread taunts me. But, there is always hope in the weekend sort. |

| I cracked $500 worth of rolls last night and found my second Indian Head in 2 or 3 weeks time - an 1883 in nice shape. Also found a 1910, 1916, 1919, 1920, 36S, 36D, 37S and a 37D. I also found what appears to be a 1946 circulated proof??? |

I would too. I have gotten an IH though. It was actually in decent shape but it was a 1900 one.
I need some depression era wheats and random dates from 1909 to 1928s with mint marks.

`Everybody is ignorant. Only on different subjects.' Will Rogers
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the "hidden" confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard." Alan Greenspan, 1966. |

That 46 proof would be a rare coin indeed..  Probably just well polished. They made proofs from 1936 till 1942 and then didn't start making them again until 1950. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| It may be an error of some sort a buddy told me - it seems to be split, like a seam all the way around the edge of coin. It is an oddity. I need to research. |
