Guess what, I still have them and they are worth a few pennies, but even better is where I got them, "Nanny". __________________ Texmech   09-19-2009, 04:18 PM   #4 (permalink) BenjyH_2009 Senior Member   Join Date: May 2009 Location: Fresno CA Posts: 294 yea she really waned to get me a steel penny because every time she talks about coins she alwys talks about them and how people always mistook them for dimes and quarters   09-19-2009, 08:51 PM   #5 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,471 Nice grandma. I remember back in the late 60's early 70's getting to search my grandma's pennies every week and we got to keep all the wheaties. That is where the coin collecting bug first became seated in me. I still have the book that we put together with the coins - one day I will finish it. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!
