CRH Post Your Neat Finds!!!!!! My first IHC !!!

Well boys and girls after many, many boxes of pennies I came across my first ihc. At first it looked like just another Canadian but I said those aren't maple leaves, those are the leaves that Indian cents have!!! I was so shocked and granted it's only a 1907 it's still a cool piece because I found it doing what I love the most. I don't care about making a million by CRH I do it for the hunt. I went a little overboard this week spending $200 on two penny boxes and a bunch of quarter rolls but hey it's my birthday Monday. Also bought a roll of John Adams dollar coins anyone know if they are unc. Because I bought em at my bank. Anywho leave a comment and photo of your favorite CRH finds !!!!! Let's talk about our love of coins we all share emensly...

You lucky dog! I've found buffalo nickels, and mercury dimes in rolls... But never an IHC!

 

It's so exciting isn't it? I found 3 buffalos before a 1937, an extremely dirty one and a dateless. I don't search dimes but I do appreciate mercs! I love cents and nickels. And quarters on pay day. Been finding many war nickels recently how about you your from east coast correct same here

 

Yeah I live in the Boston area. I'm mainly a cent and nickel hunter as well, I'll do dimes every once in a great while, just happened to get lucky and score 50 silver dimes in one roll.
I've actually found more buffalo nickels than war nickels oddly enough.. Here's a pic of my favorite buff from CRH, still has full luster

 

That's a beauty....did you say a roll of silver?! Tell me more about that

Here's the thread.
I felt like a kid on Christmas!
How long you been CRHing, and what's been your highlight so far?

 

Full luster? that's worn bro.

 

It looks much better in hand, I couldn't really capture it with the camera phone

 

still , that is wear.

no luster, unless it was cleaned, then definitely no luster

 

I'll try to take a better picture later today

 

I couldn't illustrate the nickel in question with a close up shot, but here is a pic of it next to other buffalo nickels with average wear, so do I think it would grade MS? No. But I do believe it is high EF-low AU, admittedly I'm no grading expert, but it is definitely a very nice condition (in the wild) find

 

I've had several, but this AU 1939-D is my favorite to date... I found a vein of old nickels out of a fresh LOOMIS box 99 pre-60s in 26 rolls, and decided to go back for seconds and thirds... the final tally: 206 pre-60s in 94 rolls out of two LOOMIS boxes including three Buffalos, 1938-D, and 1938-S Jeffersons, and this beauty!

 

Admittedly I have been searching cent rolls since 2007 - didn't find the first IHC until 2010 then since then I have found 34 of them, from 1865 - 1907. Also found a couple of beaten up 1858 FE cents in 2014.
