    Congrats on the VDB! It's in great shape too! Very nice!

    I like the 1861 fatty too. What kind of site did it come out of?

    Also, be sure to check the 1908 Indian for an S mint mark.

    I found these at an old park. Just decided to start digging those deep trash signals and was rewarded with the fatty. I did check the 1908 IHP and there is no S.
