I dunno about that...That's my 4th IHC this year. It's in waaaaaaaay better shape than the 1899(my previous oldest find). Definitely the highlight of my night
Congrats on your find, I found an 1893 last week - first IHC in about six months, but I went through a period from January to April where I found 9 of the little darlings, as early as 1874 - but also to well worn but identifiable 1858 FE cents.
My two favorite finds were a 1909S (note the lack of those extra three special letters, alas) and a 1928 $20 bill that looked like it had come off the presses that very day.
It came as part of my weekly order from my bank. Another box had a 1907 IHC and a 1929 Canadian 1c in it too. Hopefully this week will still have some boxes left over from that batch.
That's cool, nice shape too. They r out there. I got a 1907 in g, but my best was an 1863 in F! Good hunting
