            any way i can get the green off of his face without changing the color of the coin? i am worried an acetone soak may lighten it up. am i crazy?

                Aside from lincolns, I've pulled an 1863 indian from a roll already. Quite a few indians pulled here, and several 1909 lincolns.

                  Just went through my "junk" bucket for this year...1909 vdb...plus two 13-S...I remembered one 13-s, but not two so it was a cool surprise..it's great to be old and forgetful

                      I have pulled from circulation a 1909s and a 1909 VDB and sold them on ebay, also have pulled several Indian heads ( don't remember the dates) also sold. I no longer have pics, lost about 400 of them when my computer crashed a few months ago. I now back up all my pics with a flash drive.

                        I have not found a IHC since I was a child, but I have found 1909s and 1910s before...

                          by which do you mean a 1909-s and 1910-s or do you just mean "multiple 1909 and 1910" cents?

                          Oldest I have found is a 1909 (no vdb)

                            I have found over 25 1909-vdb's from good to mint state. Found about 15 1909-p, and when I was a kid found a 1909-s. The oldest penny that I found was a 1960 Indian cent. My late father-in-law found a pretty good 1796 flowing hair large cent while we were metal detecting.

                            Recently I found a 1931-s posted).

                              I found 1955, 1956, 1940 but nothing as old as 1909... my friedn at the gas station found a 1912 I still don't know if it had a mint mark, he forgets to bring it to work all the time.... I told him about old coins values so he could be on the outlook for them to save them for me BUT my trick backfired now he keeps them for himsel.... good for him bad for me I am still waiting for that 1922 plain.... hey if I wanna find a hard to-get-wheat free in the change I like to think big!!!! (good luck with that ha ha) my nephew found a 1989 IH and he sold it to me in 1.00 (so young, so greedy)
