Another Indian Head!

Last night was a good night. After putting some of our bathroom back together I hunted pennies. I looked through 10,000 (four boxes) and found one Indian Head (1879), sixty-seven Wheats, sixty-seven Canadians (including a 1939, the first time I've found this one in a roll), one Bermuda 1¢, and one Bahamas 1¢. The Indian Head is extremely worn, almost totally smooth. If you hold it at the correct angle you can read the date, but it is tough. I think there's a chance it was in circulation for most of it's 128 years. I also found one new US variety I needed, 1926D. The coin is beat up, but it's one I needed!



Last night's Wheats were:

1926D, 1927, 1929, 1929S, 1936, 1938, 1939(2), 1940(2), 1941(2), 1942, 1944(4), 1945(3), 1945S, 1946(4), 1946D, 1946S(2), 1947, 1948(6), 1949(2), 1950D, 1951S, 1952, 1952D, 1953(3), 1953S, 1954S, 1955, 1956(3), 1956D, 1957, 1957D(6), 1958(2), 1958D(6)

Found: 5 pennies (at the Sovereign Bank), 1 foreign coin (a Canadian penny at the Sovereign Bank)
