    I find wheaties all the time in change and usually return them to the wild because they are 1950's or maybe '40s. But this is a rarely-found-in-the-wild 1936 in about Fine condition. It's so fun to find this but I have no use for it (i.e. no hole to put it in, and I don't hoard anything anymore).

    What to do.

    You could be a good doggie because there was a Corgi celebration lately for the Queen's memorial and DONATE it to a junior or newbie collector. ; )

    I put my finds with the rest of them and forget about them :D when I come across them and get enough I move them someplace else (that's called organizing) Random wheats are worth about $0.03 each.

    Yeah, I've already wasted $100's of dollars of my time thinking about it. I charge a lot.

    This is an easy problem for your world recognized sense of Class and your enviable panache. Just buy a 1936 Talbot-Lago T150C and tastefully mount it on the center of the steering wheel....keeping with the ambiance and the décor, of course....and realizing your superior knowledge of all things Corgi, it would be a fitting tribute considering the Corgi Club of America was founded in 1936.

    The perfect coin mounted in the perfect car to chauffer the Corgis in a few days, in recognition of the 1st anniversary of the Death of Elizabeth.

    I know stuff sometimes.

    I am humbled for the opportunity to assist you in a solution to your mentally tortuous problem.

    YW.

    Why don't you just keep thinking about it? It is a great use of your time. :yawn: BTW, I just looked in my pocket and I have a 2016 SC 25c. I wonder where it has been all these years.:D

    Hammer a nail through it then release it back to the wild. :)

    Say it was a Mint Error .....
    or send it to Insider for authentication (with the nail in it) ...

    Why don't you just put it in one of your penny loafers? Oh wait, you need feet for those.
