Junk Change box find

Do you have a junk change box? I do and suspect most do also. Mine is made up of junk IHC's, worn Buffs, silver roosies and various dates Lincoln Cents among other coins. Most have been found in change or just picked up over the years. It has probably been 10 or more years since I have looked in the box and only just noticed it in my safe. Well I decided while I had my microscope set up, I would look at these coins. About the 10th coin was a vf-ef 1891 Indian Head Cent. Lo and behold it was the Snow S1 doubled die obverse. Rick's pics of the OF AMERICA are below then my coins pic following. I've got about 30 more coins to go thru but would be weird to find anything else.

Always fun to find something in your stash you didn't realize was there. Other than the coolness factor, is this a $$$ variety, or just something fun/interesting to note?
Rick Snow lists it as a 5 Star coin. CherryPicker's Guide 6th Ed Vol 1 lists it as VF $150 #EF $250 so I'm pretty tickled for something I've never looked for in a collective way. Sorry for the poor pics.

Nice find. Always nice to cherry pick yourself.

OMG, I have never done this before and here is two strikes. I found this 1897 IHC 1 in neck. Can't believe it. I've got so many more to look for. I have some S/S's 1948 Washington Quarters but I knew of them. Having some fun I haven't had in a while. Thanks for comments.

Congrats on your finds. Nothing better than discovering new worthwhile things in coins you already own.

nice score, i like that one a lot
Good eye- not knowing the variety; I would have missed this one. Knowledge is power...yet, applied knowledge is powerful! Nice job!
Great finds.... a real thrill to find a treasure you did not know you had....A cherry pick that costs nothing...Cheers, RickO
