My Wife Did Good

Every once in awhile, my wife and I buy a couple of boxes of pennies. She is not big on old coins, but she likes to go through and look for the wheaties with me. In our 2 boxes last night, we found 20 wheaties total, so about average. Her box however contained a very nice 1955 D, a semi key date 1914 S, and a crusty 1907 IHP! She didn't even know what the IHP was. She kept looking at the back of it, and finally said, this is a wheat, but it also has a shield at the top. :shock: I said "That's an Indian Head!" "Is that good?" she asked. :roll: I am not sure I will let her play anymore.

I would let her keep playing. As a matter of fact I would let her do all of the work while I watch because my luck with rolls sucks.
 
Wow - congrats! How many dollars in pennies have you gone through? I've looked through $450 in pennies and still haven't found an IHP.

We have gone through maybe $200 worth. We do it every once in awhile, and we each get our own box. I was certainly surprised. It is pretty crusty, but I will take it.
 
Congratulations to you & your wife on the fantastic coin roll hunt! It's really nice that the two of you can enjoy it with one another. :D To me, CRHing with family is so much more fun; Wolf-Dog and I love doing it together. You guys are doing great - excellent finds!
