    123 year old Indian Head Cent Pulled From Circulation

    I was just finishing working on a $50.00 bag and got down to the last handful of coins when this 1888 Indian Head Cent surfaced. Unusual to say the least as it is 123 years old and a little worn. I checked and it is not the last 8 over 7 variety...Would have been nice if it was.

    Now I have this IHC for my grand daughter. The only problem is that the other date found this past week or so was a 1905 so there will be an argument on who gets what.....LOL
