Just wanted to share. finally, after almost 14,000 pennies and much time, I found an Indian Head cent. I almost gave up after the dry patch I went through, now I am firmly back in the game.

Moved by Forum Mom from Modern US Variety & Error Coins forum to Coin Roll Hunting forum.
Rest in Peace

A bit worn, but not bad for 136 years in circulation.

Don't even remember, but they were common dates. I just threw them in one of my IHC rolls...I have about 500 extra Indians now.It should make for a cool estate sale one day

Old Indians never die.
They just sometimes look like death warmed over.

"Be free, little Indian. BE FREE!"

Sent a note to staff to have this moved to Classic US coins.
Maybe roll hunting would be better.
