Picked this up this box up this morning before I have to go back to work. Will post results later, probably late tonight when I am done with work and have time to go through the whole box.

Yes, I see it too! Just that one coin is worth searching the whole box. Congrats. That's amazing that nobody noticed that roll at the bank.

Good luck in your searching!

Well, if you don't think finding a 100+ year old indian cent in a bank roll is sexy...then you better check your pulse!
Here's hoping its a 1877!

Considering the proliferation of such on eBay, you'd think so.
But if that were the case, you'd think the date side would be showing.
If the obverse is damaged, that might explain the reverse-out orientation of the "bait" coin.
Then again, it could just be a truly random inclusion. Regardless, that's a great roll hunting find!
Hardly a "dud" box, I say, even if nothing else was found!

Sounds like some kid is raiding Dad's coin collection and spending it.

<< <i>Is that some kind of RPD or just damage? >>
Probably PMD, but who cares. I wouldn't turn my nose up at such a find. Funny how it ended up on the end of the roll like that. It does appear to have been a random inclusion rather than deliberately planted. That's super cool. I have never found an IHC in circulation in nearly 40 years of collecting. Did find a 1909 (-plain) Lincoln once, but it was pretty darned slick. Five Buffalo nickels is about the extent of my obsolete-type finds. I've gotten a sprinkling of silver on very rare occasions, but never a Merc or Frankie or other obsolete type- they've always been later-date silver Roosies or Washingtons. (Or 40% Kennedies and a 1964 Kennedy once.) A noncollecting friend of mine found a decent (Fine-ish)1908-O Barber dime in circulation once.
