Indian head pennies

I am currently visiting my grandparents and vocalized my new hobby of coin collecting (as i am getting back into it.) She stepped aside and brought me two bags fulls of coins. Here is just one bag that had all pennies. Both of the piles are indian head pennies. The top pile are 1900's and above and the bottom pile is 1899's and older.

Nice! That's a great start to a complete set.

 

Do any of the '08s or '09s have an 'S' mintmark?

 

No, they did not.

 

dang. those S mints are pretty pricy.

 

The 1870's are also a great find. Those are not so easy to come by.

Aren't grandparents the best!!!

 

I know! I set aside those 08's and 09's and made sure not to look at the reverse till the end. I was sure hoping for an s.Flipped each one hoping one would have that s. Oh well!

 

Yes they are!!

 

Nice! You have generous grandparents! Where did they get those IHCs? Just curious.

 

Yes i do!! My great-grandmother had them and they received them from her when she passed.

 

Ah that's cool. I love coins with some kind of story behind them!

 

The 1866 is worth $50 in Good condition. Have you graded it? It's a semi-key date.

 

It's in about fine condition.

 

Wow. You made me wanna visit my grandma.
