I checked the coin return/reject and found an 1864 Indian Head. It may have been rejected because it was a copper-nickel cent. They are thicker and heavier than bronze cents. It should weigh about 4.6 grams if it's copper-nickel. You should also check the thickness. |

Thanks!
It's pretty thick, and it actually has the same color as a dime or nickel. I will get pics up ASAP.

I love hearing about finds like that.
Last month I went to the drive through at my bank and asked for a roll of half dollars. I pulled a 1941-S Walker and 1960-D Franklin in circulated condition from the roll!

Great job brefos77! It sure looks like a copper-nickel IHC to me. |

im always amazed at the stuff that can be found from machines, this just goes to show that sometimes you find more in the machines than in the rolls themselves!
