score! Indian cents

I went to my local coin store today and asked the owner if he had any Indian cents in bulk. I told him that I was filling a book and had a list of the one that I needed. He had a small bag that he was saving for somebody but they hadn't been there to pick it up for several months and said that I could search through it. I found severl that I needed including, a 1862,1866,1867,1873,1874,1875,1879, 1884,1885,1886,1894,1909p x3, and the best of all a 1908s. All for the low price of a dollar apeice. I about lost it when I saw the 1908s. They are mostly goods to fines,but the 08s may be better than that.

Very Nice!

 

Great finds...especially that 1908-S.

 

wow, nice score.

 

Those are terrific finds. Ididn't know they were still out there like that.

 

what condition were they in?

 

That's one of those "deals of a lifetime". Check the normal prices on those dates and you'll be a very happy collector.

 

It must have been great fun searching through a bag and finding so many coins to fill so many holes. It must have been difficult to keep a straight face when you found the S-mint coin. Congrats.

Please post a photograph of the collection.

 

Congrats! Great additions especially for the price!

 

In Fine condition, you scored several hundred dollars in coins....

 

some people are just lucky. if they are in any kind of good condition you just scored a major hit for a dollar a coin.

*sigh* some people have all the luck.

 

Wow, That is a nice score. You can't go wrong with a 1908 S for a buck.

Congrats...that is the kind of stuff most collectors only dream about.

Boy, I thought I was lucky when I was given an 1896 for free last month!

 

I went down to the coin store again wednesday, and asked the owner if he had put anything in the bargin box, and he said " oh just a bag of indian cents." I went over and found it out of the box, and there was about 20-25 indians in it, all for $5. I bought it and took them home, looked throught hem and found nothing interesting. most of them were crusty or damaged, but I still thought it was a good buy.

 

go back and buy all of those! the 1873 and 1908-S for $2 is crazy!
