I just started hand sorting those heavy brinks boxes today I got last summer and in my first 16.75 pound box, sixth plastic roll, I came across my first 1895 Wild Indian! Now the addiction has set in.

Congrats!
Did you glue together a Longhouse and Village prior to sorting?
How's the condition (of the coin, not your "Irrational Exuberance")? |
There's profit if you melt things!!

I would say the condition is close to the one in this picture.  Not worth much money I'm sure, but a nice surprise. My wife had the feeling that I would find one but didn't say anything until I found it. |

Very nice indeed!
I hope you can read "LIBERTY" on your next one.
Do you have it displayed up high so the "Irrational Rays" emanating from it can enrich your sorting area?
PS - Is your wife willing to accompany you on your pick-ups and indicate which box to politely decline to purchase?
Again, nice find, keep it up! |
There's profit if you melt things!!

Congratulations man.

Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Are you still a Rational Thinker? I thought I was the last of the RTs.
Congratulations to Ardent. |

Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

Nice set of boxes you got there!
I'm finding so many 08D's in the boxes I've been picking up, that I'm only sorting CWR's for now.
May you find many more irrational surprises. |
