I can't believe this find !

Hi all, I was counting down my register at work (Sam's club) and I always look for silver or wheat backs, but today a 1905 IH!! I was pleasantly surprised. Its in pretty good shape too , a few letters in liberty, but go figure !

    Wow! That's pretty impressive! image

    A friend of mine got a Fine+ 1900-O Barber dime once, and showed me the coin. I didn't believe him when he said he found it in change. Guess it does happen, once in a while!

    I put about 100 low grade IHCs into circ last year..........I hoped to spur some interest in the finders.


    Nice find!

    He's from my fine state. Unfortunately, the wrong part of it!

    I've found several Buffalo Nickels and many Wheat Cents but never an Indian Head Cent.

    when i was still at blockbuster i think it was 2 chirstmas' ago. i scored a 1886 Var II IH. not a bad find figuring the rest of the roll was wheats. and my boss got mad cause i went through 8 rolls to get one with lincolns memorials. after that i wasnt allow to ring register for a week ( till that batch of pennies got used) but i still managed to get a few 100 more wheats. thats why i got 2 or 3 volumes of wheats. but now she askes me for help when she finds a wheat. go figure. the one who tried to stop me now does it her self.
