Nice find! I just found my first on last week! What a surprise! Not in great shape at all but nice! Congratulations!
Thanks, when I started roll hunting I never expected to find an IHP in circulation, so it is a surprise when they pop out.
I try to go through at least 25 dollars worth of pennies a week, so I suppose it SHOULD just be a matter of time. I've been given a couple by people who know I collect wheats, but I'm still looking forward to the thrill of finding for one in a roll.
It seems to be random luck, I get my pennies from two sources and both have given up some good stuff. I think if the IHP's have a dark patina they can hide out better. It is a numbers game, the more you look at.....
