Much Wampum Found. Big Pow Wow (With Pics)
On my way to work I stopped at a local bank around 4:55 pm. Just got in before they locked the doors. I asked a teller for $5 in cents. I also asked if she had any halves either loose or in rolls. The teller next to her had $500. I only bought $200 as it felt like a dump. The halves were a bust. The cents produced 7 wheats from the first 6 rolls (not bad for 6 rolls). The 7th roll had faint writing on it. "INDIAN HEAD".
This year Tanner and I have only found 1 Indian head. I peaked in the roll and saw an Indian head ender
I poured into my hand a SOLID ROLL OF INDIAN CENTS
(oldest 1859) The roll contained 56 Indian heads.
THE BREAK DOWN
1859 = 1
1864 = 1
1865 = 1
1880 = 2
1883 = 3
1885 = 1
1886 = 2
1887 = 1
1889 = 2
1891 = 2
1892 = 3
1893 = 2
1895 = 1
1896 = 3
1897 = 1
1898 = 5
1899 = 2
1900 = 5
1901 = 4 (one had some red luster, see photo)
1902 = 5
1903 = 6
1905 = 1
1907 = 1
1908 = 1
I will be heading back to this bank in the morning. You never know if there are and nickles, dimes, quarters or more cents.
Tanner was pretty excited when I came home from work. These will fill a lot of holes in our "Found in the Wild" Indian Head Cent book.
Keep on Searching

PS
The funny thing is before I left the bank parking lot. I checked a few roll of halves just in case. I did not even look a the cents until I was driving to work.
