It finally happened!

[Explorer.se]

Well it finally happened folks! On November 25 at 10:30 PST I finally dug up my very first Indian Head Penny! I have taken the before and after pictures. I’ve also added another scalloped shape token to my collection. It is a Bentley and Bentley Cigar Token. I love this hobby! I don’t know if this other item is a token as well. I will need your help with that!

 

[IDXMonster]

Very nice on both! There many many “firsts” in this hobby,each one as exciting as the next! Love it!

Sure it’s 1900 I don’t know if they came with mintmark but I don’t see one one the back. Thanks for looking.

I believe the U.C.P & Co. tag is from the Union Central Pacific Railway - Omaha to California.

Here's a little info to get you started:

Love the scalloped token and congrats on your first, of many, Indian Head Cents...

Explorer se,

Congrats on breaking through ! IHC's are always nice to find.

The IHC's from San Francisco have a mint mark in 1908 and 1909 (s) The S is very small so look close.

Best of luck finding #2.

Your finds are an inspiration to me. When I was out in California years ago I never found an indian head penny. Found a 1909 Lincoln though. LOL!
