I received $2 change at a local grocery store, and for the heck if it, I went to the customer service desk at the front and asked for $2 in Pennies. They were only the Machine Wrapped String & Son rolls. I thought if I found a wheat or two, that would be pretty cool. But what was in the first roll I opened turned out to be a very pleasant surprise! In the middle of the roll, I flipped over a Zincoln and saw "One Cent" with a wreath reverse on the very next coin! I couldn't believe that I had just found my 2nd Indian Head ever! Looked at the date, and it's from 1882! Real worn, but will post pictures when I get a chance. It's my 2nd oldest penny find ever next to my 1863 Civil War token, funny how some great finds can come from searching only a few rolls.

Wow! I do agree that sometimes only a few rolls will equal a few results. Yesterday I got four rolls of nickels and found a War Nickel. That is a very old find though! It is amazing what is still out there in circulation!

Congrats on your find .I know what it feels like to find a IHC . About a year ago I was searching just 2 BWR's and found a 1903 cent in nice condition .
