Just felt like sharing, I recently acquired a 10x magnification after using 5x for months (unbeknownst to me)and since using it I have found: 1976 Indian head, 1995 DDO, 1960-D small date, 2000 WAM, and a 1997 doubled ear. AWESOME!
Rest in Peace

Nice finds but please tell me you didn't need the loop to identify the Indian Head penny.

Finding an Indian Head penny would be like finding an elephant. They're kind of hard to miss. In 1987, I had a Long John Silvers give me a 1913S Buffalo nickel in my change. It didn't take long to spot it. I know what you are thinking. What the He*l were you doing in a Long John Silvers? Three Words. Wife Wanted It. I wish I still had the nickel but it's long gone like the wife.

what they are saying is if you have a 1976 Indian Head cent then you have a one of a kind and that's why they jokingly said it should be slabbed. If it is in fact a 1976 then either it should be slabbed or thrown in the trash because its either very very rare or very very counterfeit. I am guessing its a 1876 though
