First IH is my 1st 1800's coin

Hey Everyone,
I got out to the spot where I got the Joe Friday badge last month. I was walking around picking up coins here and there when out pops the 1902 Barber Dime. I'm thrilled because it's my new oldest coin. A little more hunting and I pack it up.
When I get home I dump out the finds from the pouch onto some newspaper and start to carefully clean the muck off the coins. I'm seeing a few wheaties and then :icon_scratch: :o That's an Indian Head! I read the date 1899, my first 1800's coin and new oldest coin. Here are some pics, thanks for looking.
Glenn

Congrats on some great coins. I love the look of the old Indian Head Pennies.

I found a 1987 IH and 2/3rds of a 1900 IH today.

Happy Hunting

Re: First IH is my 1st 1800's coin

Now if you could just remember what the heck that Injun sounded like or looked like on the detector! :tongue3: They will pop out of the ground more often. After I found my first (1864), I found two others on the next trip...Congrats on the finds..jgas
 

Re: First IH is my 1st 1800's coin

WTG on your first 19th century coin :thumbsup: My first one was also an Indian Head, an 1887. It rang up like a modern Lincoln cent. Dig everything at those old sites, you just never know.

Nice job,
Nat

BTW that Barber is sweet too :thumbsup:

Thanks kimsdad, yup the barber was sweet especially since you get the ID right away. The IH was a double :o since I had no clue until clean up time.

Thanks jgas, I was thinking the same thing LOL. There I am going along just putting dirt caked coins into the pouch and seeing the IH at clean up wondering, "I wonder when/ how that got in there :icon_scratch:

Thanks Natman, made the 19th century by a hair LOL. No clue how the IH rang up, I don't remember a target that rang up where I said,"what is that?" so it must ring up same as a wheat or a more modern one. You're right, you have to dig everything.
 

Re: First IH is my 1st 1800's coin

Nice digs Glen!
I found a 1899 Indian this week also. Anything that starts with 18 is great in my book!

Sweet Barber too.

Congrats,
Mark
