    Here’s a shipwreck coin that I didn’t have. It’s from the Admiral Gardner which sank in 1809 in the English Channel. This souvenir is dated 1994 and it states it’s 186 years old. It’s now 215 years old from the shipwreck date. These coins never circulated as they were minted and shipped to India in January of 1809. This is a 10 Cash coin.

    I bought myself for Christmas a 1909 vdb wheat penny and a 1911-D wheat penny.

    I am working on my grandfather's penny book. It is 1909-1940.

    There are some expensive ones in that book. Just get one coin at a time and you’ll get it filled. I only need the 1909-S VDB but I just haven’t found the right one to fit into my folder.
