kburky New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/30/2014 12:40 pm I search all denominations, and I got skunked on nickels, dimes, quarters, and halves. I was feeling really discouraged, and I started opening up the pennies. I wasn't doing so good in the beginning, only about 6 wheats, and on the third to last roll, I see a rather dingy, dinged up coin. I picked it up, and to my surprise, it was an 1898 indian head! It wasn't in perfect condition, but at least it filled a hole in my whitman! Keep up the good hunt people, they're still out there! Report this Post to the Staff

ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 08/30/2014 1:02 pm Its really a treat to find old odd coins while searching the penny rolls. There are not only Indian head pennies still findable but there are a lot for foreign coin findable in these rolls. I've found coins from about 20 countries that are the same size as our penny. Its a lucky day for me when I do find these coins. Report this Post to the Staff

ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 01:56 am Saturday afternoon I wrote that it is a matter of numbers. The more you search the odds are that you going to find interesting things. Then lightening struck this morning. I just found an 1903 Indian Head cent. Since I haven't found one in awhile, my first inclination upon seeing it was that I had a Canadian cent. When the realization of what I had finally sunk in, I was very happy.
