First post..and what is it about???

[DentArthurDent]

I found this penny in my change at work today. Usually I just dump my pennies in the little spare penny cup, but because this one was so dark, I took a second look at it. I have a very nice camera, but just don't have the skills to utilize it properly. All of the pics came up fuzzy. These were the best of the front and back.

In case it isn't really readible, that is an 1884 IH.

Wow. Nice find. I have only hear of IH's being found in change a few times....I never got one in my years as a cashier. Good luck!

It looks like a nice one!

If you camera has a macro mode, perhaps you just have to turn it on and then try to take some pics.

Thats unreal !! Check in a coin book and see how much it's worth. Might have come from a collection. HH
