WOW

 

What's up guy and girls. So my parents went to visit my grandmother for a couple weeks. Got back yesterday. Mom hands me a mason jar full of pennys. I go through them pulling the coppers, 99.9% are all commons. I got 2 wheeties, and about $1.50 in coppers. But about half way through i see a indian head. I think to my self cool but nothing special. Pick it up and it's a 1909. So there's a chance. Flip it over and there is a beautiful S at the bottom of the reverse. I just found a 1909 S indian in circulation. This happened about an hour ago and I still have goosebumps. And it will probably grade a 20-30. You can still see some of the liberty on the headband. Unbelievable. So just letting everybody know. There are still awesome coins in circulation and keep hunting.

I love it I still go to the bank and get rolls of half dollars for the thrill of finding 1 1967 or even a 1964 90%er. And the 1964 (Minted for 3 years, 64, 65 and 66) maybe one of the highest mintage coins ever still gets my pulse going. David Lange recently wrote that many collectors loose interest their coin(s) after they purchase them, I think that is true for me. With due respect for Mr Lange, coins that I have "found" as opposed to bought always have a special value. A value to me that is far more than their Grey Sheet or Red book price. It is all about the hunt. And you just bagged a Lion. Way to go. Enjoy!
