I had a rather quite day at the Houston coin show today, no silver,or gold, but I did manage to snag 217 Indian Head pennies, for only $10. I will post pictures later. I'm still trying to figure out what happened? I had walked past the occupied dealer, and saw a ziplic of 1900's IHC, I love IHC's. I made the loop, but the IHC's were no longer on his table. Fortunately for me, he had only moved them to the back table, and I asked how much, and he said $10. I figured there were at least 3 or 4 rolls. I did not mention, but today happens to be my birthday.  Edited by thecoinguy1964

Hope to read about you pulling an S mint coin out of that bag. Happy birthday.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Would appreciate to know what the average condition may be, as well as any scarce coins, and coins of highest condition.

I feel a little bad for the dealer, but I feel much more excited for you. Happy birthday, too!

Dang, that's what I get for not going to that show. I live in DFW and there's a show here this weekend as well. I thought about going to both, but figured that might be doing too much. Nice score!

That's a killer deal, I'm surprised the dealer sold them for that cheap!
Let's get some pics to see the typical condition.
