Found this 1900 cent in the take-a-penny tray at the local supermarket today. Good way to end the year and yes, I replaced it with another cent
Happy New Year!

    Amazing- I've seen Wheat cents, and picked a few of those but never an Indian. Good way to end the year!

    Occasionally, I put a few IHC's back into circulation. I hope they are found and not melted down. Hopefully it creates interest in our hobby.

    Many years ago, as an elementary school kid, I would occasionally get a very worn IHC, Liberty Nickel, or Barber Dime in change.

    Wow....likely a "seeded" coin from another collector.
    Still cool though.

    Now that is a great find.... I do always check those trays... I get the occasional wheatie... never an IHC though.... OK... that is my goal for 2019, find an IHC in change, a tray, or a roll....I better get busy.... ;) Cheers, RickO
