I believe it is the type 2 minted in the latter half of 1886 because the bottom feather is pointing between the C and the A instead of between the I and the C.
This beats my old record find of two 1895 Liberty head nickels.
I have found 2 other IHCs dated 1902 and 1907.

I meant coin roll hunting; why it is in the CRH topic category.

So I actually have been focusing on penny boxes since the start of the year, 11 or 12 boxes since January. I can still get a near unlimited supply of pennies provided that I make an even exchange at the bank. So I am not attempting to deposit pennies anymore without getting pennies in return. I have found about three rolls worth of wheat pennies since January, and I have filled 18 rolls total lifetime.

My oldest find in CRH was a British six pence coin minted between the 1830's and the 1850's. (The date was worn off.) And that was found in a roll of American pennies.
