<p>[QUOTE="frech001, post: 7541931, member: 20616"]I found my first IHC when I was 10, (over 60 years ago) helping my dad dig footings for an addition on our house, which was an old farmhouse in Minnesota. It was then in the middle of a mid sized town, but when it was built, was on the edge of town. An elderly neighbor was watching our work. When I found the penny I didn't know what it was, I had started a Lincoln wheat cent collection, but had never seen an IHC. The neighbor asked to see it and noted the depression in the coin and said..."I think this was shot out of the air by Annie Oakley. He said he watched her when he was a kid about my age, shoot coins out of the air. That was up on the hill at the end of our block, now all homes and a church. Then it was a cornfield with only our home and some farm buildings below. Here is the coin also an 1887. That got me to expand my collection and I preferred circulated coins in good shape. I read everything I could find and decided to collect every Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cent design intentionally made by the mint for circulation. Here is the list with links to support the full collection set. </p><p><a href="http://members.iphouse.com/frech001/Al's%20Flying%20Eagle%20and%20Indian%20Head%20Cent%20Complete%20Design%20Set.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://members.iphouse.com/frech001/Al's%20Flying%20Eagle%20and%20Indian%20Head%20Cent%20Complete%20Design%20Set.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://members.iphouse.com/frech001/Al's Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cent Complete Design Set.pdf</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1301759[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1301760[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1301761[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
