So I was at my local dealer yesterday and my son wants to start an Indian Head cent Whitman folder. So I picked up the folder and all seven IHCs that the dealer had in the bin, for $1 each. I got home and found an 1866 in there.

Was quite a nice find!

Not bad.

I've always heard here about people going through junk bins and finding treasures. I spent about 2 hours at the junk bin at one of the few coin shops in my area and ended up with about 10 V nickels @ 25c each.
Rest in Peace

In another thread, someone found an 1885 V nickel, I think he said 35¢.

I was going through V nicks at my dealer and he said "If you find an 12S you can have it for normal price" (.50)

didnt find one--but that was cool

You should have waited, I could have sent you a folder when the Jeffs arrive. If you need any other folders I have quite a few laying around I can throw in free.
Would be happy to add to your kids collection.
