    Hey everyone!!:)
    My Wife got this in change this week. A "Not too Shabby" little 1899 Indian head cent. It's a little crusty on the reverse but I'll take it. I was checking out the spare change in the house when I discovered it. It looks like it was "dug" and I didn't even use my Metal Detector.:rolleyes: People must have passed it off as a Canadian coin maybe(??):hilarious:
    Anyways, it just amazes me the good stuff out there still!! :happy:

    Finally, a coin older than me. And it even looks much better.

    To find a 123 year old coin in circulation is, in a word, amazing.

    If not for that ED on the reverse that IHC is sweet. Would be a great hole filler as is.

    I actually got an 1858 LL Flying Eagle in change at my high school cafeteria back in the mid 70's.
