    Hi all it has been awhile since I have been here. I had a few medical issues to deal with. I found this penny 1891 while going through rolls of pennies a few weeks back. I could not believe it. Have a great day and I am so happy to be back into my coins. 1891 penny.jpg thumbnail.jpg 1891 penny.jpg

    That's a fantastic find for a coin roll search! In 47 years of collecting, I have never found an Indian cent in a roll or in circulation, though I dug plenty while detecting. Congratulations! It's not in bad shape, either.

    Hope you are better and that the New Year is treating you well.

    It’s unbelievable, isn’t it? We’ve found a few when we were searching rolls, too.

    Luck come in bunches, we’ve found. Hit it hard now. :)

    Great find. I think I found one a while back. When I was young we got them in change almost everyday.

    Thanks all I could not believe it I made my husband look at it to confirm it was one. Man I missed checking rolls. Today I found a blank zinc penny, I did not know that could even happen, back to learning from you guys thanks so much for now and in the future.

    Hi Laurie. That’s a great find and it’s in decent shape despite the circulation wear.

    I’ve found one searching. It had no date. BUT it’s an early one. In the 4.5g range. I call that dumb luck. Glad for you
