    Indian head penny slump over after 2 1/2 years

    [attachment 314004 DSCF2698.jpg][attachment 314005 DSCF2699.jpg] It's been 2 1/2 years since I have found an Indian head penny till Wednesday night. I pulled a 1873 open 3 key date penny in f- vf condition. Hell if I have to wait 2 1/2 years to pull these kinds of coins well worth the wait.
