4th Indian in circulation - 1899

Good Morning CTers,

I have reported to you all each time I locate an Indian cent in circulation. Today was my 4th. 1899. It appears I got some turned in rolls. Only broke open 3 rolls producing 38 wheats and 1 IHC. This time they were not marked SAVE but I have a feeling they came from the same lady from my large score last time. Good luck is shining on me today!

Ain't it sweet finding something 117 years old?

 

About 2 months ago, I found a 1907 IHC in a roll. Surprisingly it was in VF+!

 

Awesome! I'm still looking for my first CRHing. Most wheats I've gotten in one roll was 3. What was the best wheat of the batch in your opinion?

 

Cool.

 

Nice find... out of curiosity, approximately how many cents have you gone through to date?

 

The oldest in this round was a 1930. All common dates this time around.

 

I have been collecting for about 3 years. I don't actively CRH but I only keep my eye out when putting out registers. I probably go through about 20 rolls of cents per week. So somewhere in the ballpark of 2,000-3,100 rolls give or take off days. I have had a couple times where I received old rolls for a change order and went back to buy more.

Also I take great food to my tellers because they help greatly.

 

So that's 4 in aprroximately 125,000 cents... I've found two in about 60-65,000 cents... so we're at similar ratios...

For me this year has been bad for finding indian head cents. This year I have looked through between 350,000 to 400,000 cents and I have only found 1 indian head cent.
