It looks like an Indian Head is all it takes for the addiction to take hold. I have been hand sorting for a few weeks now with my 9 year old son (and wife when the spirit moves her). I was telling my son how hard it is to find "Wild Indians" in these rolls and how some people can go months and months without ever finding one. Each box is a treasure hunt for him. Well, on our 5th $25 box my son pulls a nice 1902 IH. He jumped up and ran around the house screaming "I found one. I found one!!!!
He is now officially hooked (I am too). Of course he found out about flying eagle cents and now wants to find one of those too. Not a day goes by that he doesn't ask if I can get another box. He wants to do a whole one by himself.
Thanks for all of your great posts. They have been really informative. I have been reading for a while and decided to join.
I just started, but am I the only one who gets disappointed when I get change back from a purchase and there are no coppers?
Welcome...and congratulations to you and your son for the awesome IH find!
