    Shrews1994 Collecting is my passion.

    That's a cool story! You know I ran through a yard that's had those poky balls is what i called them with my bare feet I didn't know they were there so I went running I didn't get far as I fell screaming they were all over the bottom of my feet hands when i fell on the back of my pants the pain I felt was crucial. Lol I have bad memories with them.. but that's so cool y'all found all that in that area. I can't wait till I get that far to metal detect places like that.

    Congrats. I have two almost complete sets of IHCs and working on a third, but no 1877 and no 1909-S in any of them. BTW, thanks to @C-B-D I've managed to pick up a few beauts at insanely low prices.

    Nice grouping you have there!
    I don’t have many indian head cents. Just the two in my type set and this one.
    It’s a very low grade, but I love the look of it and how well it has worn. No distracting marks of any kind!

    Love those copper-nickels. They look fantastic like that, even in low grade. They "wore well", you might say.

    This one just arrived in the past few minutes; paid $28.55, seller's photos don't do it justice, and there is no damage on the cheek with coin in hand:

    One has to appreciate the fact that response coins as well ell gated cents were the prized souvenirs of the turn of the century working man,and woman. Like love tokens being the lower and middle working class jewery.
    Now consider the time and workmanship put into these items.
    And then....compare that to todays standards and cost.
