If you haven't started your IHC collection yet, now might be a good time to start. I would be able to help you with a few gift coins, too. Just let me know.
Thanks Geezer..but I am not really a collector but do enjoy looking at others collections on cointalk.
Looks like the 1906 IHC I pulled out of a bank roll when I was a kid. It was my first IHC and I still have it.
I have 7 of these, 6 of them G4, G6 or VG8. I picked these up in circulation in 1962, I was 11 yo working my first job selling TV Guide door to door. They were selling for 15 cents a copy, my cut was 4 cents a copy. I sold a ton of them. Some folks paid me with pennies. This is also how I got my first mercury dimes and buffalo nickels. The 7th IHC is a 1893 XF40. Bud1, good luck getting some, few people are willing to let go of them. You have already turned down LAGeezer's offer, but if you change your mind and want one, I'll gift you one as well (plz don't think this is a bribe, I don't want to be thrown down on the tarmac and handcuffed. Just sayin'. lol) Spark
NLL If only I would have taken interest in coins or something of substance when I was 17, rather than getting into fights and other trouble I may have amounted to something. You are doing good.
If only I hadn't "borrowed" some of my brother's coin collection to go bowling at age 13, then I still wouldn't owe him for the rare Lincoln penny I used! He has mostly forgotten about my dastardly deed . . . but I sure haven't. I'm a rotten sitter!!!!!!!!!
My grandmother had a collection of Indian Head cents in a Whitman blue album which I now have. United States Indian Head cent 1906 Indian Head cents figure prominently in Harper Lee's famous book To Kill a Mockingbird and appear in the film.
Creative Borrowing something without the knowledge and consent of it's owner is and was as I recall from my Law School days not called borrowing it was something else...now what was that called?????
