Hello everyone, This morning as I was cleaning the sidewalk in front of my job I found FOG (Found On Ground) which was a Cent. The interesting thing about it is that it was a Cent with a counterstamp of President Kennedy's profile. It's one of those novelty Items made outside of the Mint back in the early 1970's This is an example of the Novelty item made I have 4 in my collection now. These are my FOG finds for this week..
Nice find, and an obverse MAD too. Is that adhesive on the reverse where someone tried to stick it to the sidewalk as a joke?
Just don't spend so much time watching the ground that you step out in front of a bus. I keep my eye on the ground probably more than I should when I'm biking. The way I figure it, in all the bike wrecks I've had, it's always been the ground that hurt me the most...
Reminds me of a Army cadence during boot camp "ain't no use in looking down...ain't no discharge on the ground" Good thing @paddyman98 looks down.
Shows how desperate some people are in todays economy. They are pulling glued coins off cardboard to spend. LOL Speaking of that, I was shocked to see a quarter, some dimes, and a few nickels in a "take one if needed" jar at a local store. Usually it's just pennies.
I learned about money as a kid, a long time ago, when cents mattered. It would be really hard for me to throw away a card with a cent still attached to it. I'd take a few seconds to pry it off -- even though I get paid more than one cent per second to do useful things.
