I was like HOLY COW CAN I HAVE IT?!?! she just laughed and gave it to me....I think it's a 1915, but it's in bad shape. no silver left, all rusty...but I still keep it = ) __________________ Monetary values amount to nothing in the face of a coin that's survived centuries to make it into my hand.   12-31-2008, 02:30 AM   #18 (permalink) johnny54321 aspiring numismatist     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: North Edwards, CA Posts: 1,123 My Mood: Sweet! My best circulation find to date was a 1909 vdb cent in fine condition! I was exstatic!! I must of looked at it a million times under a loupe, hoping that an "s" would magically appear under the "1909". No such luck. I'm sure it came out of a collection somewhere.   12-31-2008, 02:31 AM   #19 (permalink) Arizona Jack The Lincoln-ator     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dry Heat USA Posts: 6,754 My Mood: Sweet Mag, right on !! __________________ W.I.N.S / ANA / SLCC / Mesa Coin Club I am a poker player ..."thats beyond trailer trash" Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, 4/09 Hot Sauce Fanatic !!!   12-31-2008, 07:54 AM   #20 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,658 'nuff said. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   12-31-2008, 11:56 AM   #21 (permalink) Drusus Pecunia non olet     Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Houston Posts: 2,922 My Mood: I have only found a mercury dime and a few wheat pennies...let me echo what others have said...sweet find!!

I value that old merc I found as much as any coin I have... pulled from pocket change about six months ago. __________________ Jim   12-31-2008, 03:15 PM   #25 (permalink) Magman U.S. Money Collector     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Phoenix, AZ Posts: 3,017 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Phoenix21 Nice find!!

Phoenix At the coin shop up where I go to school they have indian head cents for $1-$2 each (the lower grade ones), and this would probably be in the $1.25 bin I would imagine.

I pointed out what he had, he said he knew it was in there but was told it wasnt worth more than face value. It was in far better condition than the one jloring has in his profile...so I gave him a dime for it. __________________ Pecunia in arbotis non crescit   12-31-2008, 03:27 PM   #27 (permalink) Nickeldude Senior Member     Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Ohio Posts: 179 My Mood: I have found a SLQ before and that is probably my best find. Also found a Franklin once. But nice IHC. Never found one like that   01-01-2009, 12:05 AM   #28 (permalink) Ruben Member   Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 73 I have watched my change since the 60's.....never found an Indian. I did find 2, however, on the ground (without a detector). A 1902, and a 1906; at different times, and on the surface, and in surprisingly good shape.   01-01-2009, 12:31 AM   #29 (permalink) Magman U.S. Money Collector     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Phoenix, AZ Posts: 3,017 My Mood: that's not too bad I got back from work today again... today wasn't nearly as prosperous, lol, I found a 1953 Nickel. No star notes either, I mean, yesterday, when I found the Indian, I also found 2 star notes! (both common, so I didn't bother posting them in the paper money section) I do go back tomorrow though. But now, everytime I crack open a roll, my expectations are so much higher. Before I was just hoping for an early-date wheat cent, now though, I'm looking for the wreath and shield reverse, lol.   01-01-2009, 12:42 AM   #30 (permalink) randygeki Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Flagstaff, Arizona Posts: 2,040 My Mood: its not and IHC but I found a 57 d wheatie at target today I think the best find I've heard of was a $20 gold eagle   Page 2 of 3 < 1 2 3 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
