Walked for about 3 hours for 2 cents! Crusty indians

[Oldrvrrat57]

Went on a 3 hour hunt today on a new site that I was given permission to MD on that was covered in foundation stones,glass and crockery. Had high hopes for some silver but came home with a couple of crusty indians , one I can make out the date 1874, the other is a 187? . Buttons , sleigh bells and a few other keepers.

There is nothing ( and I mean nothing) wrong with two old IHP's. That would add up to a winner day in my book. Well done!

For people in the United States ...
any day you find any type of 1800's dated coin(s) in any condition - is a good day - congrats !

Also, all of the 1870's Indians don't get found very often.
Look in your coin "Red Book" or on the Net for details.

A few years ago I found 2 1874 indians on an old site that were in really good condition, put them on ebay and was stunned that they sold for $123.00 , I don't sell anything any more though.
