I was amazed that out of the 10 rolls, I found more than 100 wheat pennies and 12 indians (I had never found an indian before). I went back and got the remaining rolls of pennies, about 50 of them. I ended up with about 5 rolls of wheats and almost a whole roll of indians (most culls, but a few in almost uncirculated state).....I know this is rare, and yes, I did go through all their nickels, dimes, quarters and halves with no luck. I suspect that someone took in their Grandfather's hoard of pennies and used the automatic roller. </p><p>Okay, to make a long story even longer, I found a 1909-s among these - by far the better find, the rest were 1890s-1909 - nothing older. But I've wondered about this one - why in a bunch of culls would there be 5 almost uncirculated including this jewel. I know fakes have been made for many years, and I wondered if this one was legit or not. What do you think? Legit or Fake? I've still got the others too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
