I took my niece with me to Meijers last night. She wanted to ride the Penny electric horse ride in front of the store. I checked the coin return on it, and BAM! This was in there. Less than desirable condition, but a strange place to find it. 2/3rds of it was covered with some sort of tar. It's a '28 p.
That's a pretty awesome story. Great find! You should be with your niece more often; she brings good luck.
