Indeed yinzi. I'm watching your Buffalo progress. I found a number last year but a higher ratio were dateless. I need to check my own progress there. The only thing that stands out at the moment is that I found a second dateless 1913D variety II. Point being is that there are some rarer coinage floating out there. We just need a little luck to come our way again.

While searching through nickels, you might stumble across an 1872 coin. However, It might also be efficient to search through boxes of cents, as Indian Head cents are not uncommon in boxes. 2500 coins out of a billion or so, right? I like my chances! I suppose I'll give it a look through when I get the chance, and see if I find an 1872. Wish me luck; I'll need it! Edited by SilverySilver

Even so, there are more coins in a cent box as opposed to a box of nickels. Then again, most IHC are made of Bronze and look different from the copper and zinc cents that are in circulation now. Circulated nickels all look the same at a glance, and someone might've accidently thrown a Liberty into a roll. Maybe even a shield if we're lucky. Edited by SilverySilver

Which will come first? An 1872 posted to this thread.  Or the thread bump on Tau Day.  |

Hmmmmm...  I flipped a very worn nickel the other day but saw that it was a V nickel. Still no Shield nickels found during a CRH event (or to help our cause here). |

Been a year. Time to bump or reboot? |

I don't know. Maybe this stays open as the first thread (labeled as such in the thread title) but create a new thread when a year anniversary occurs without an update. This way the fun can start again giving new members an opportunity to show off some interesting finds and original posters a chance to get a more recent find into the mix. If the new thread gets past the stalling point of the original thread, then the original thread is locked. This way the most active thread takes its place as the furthest back we can go. Otherwise, the second thread can be closed if, after a year, no new updates are posted keeping the original thread active as the furthest back we have gotten. |

This is how I do the other HFBCWG topics... A new one runs along side an old one that is stalled. When the new one catches the old, the old is locked and a new 'new one' is started. Right now we have a 4th edition running with a 3rd edition that is stalled at 1487. When the 4th reaches 1487, the 3rd will be locked and a 5th started. That being said, we can start a second CRH edition if there seems to be interest. |

That's what I was airing out (but you stated it better). It works for me. I tried to kick in sparingly on the first go around as I was more curious about what others were finding. I'm always amazed at the finds members have accumulated. Let's see what the others are thinking.
