    I went to a steak house with a friend for dinner tonight. When the waitress brought my change I immediately noticed a Wheat Cent. I couldn't read the date due to the lighting (and my old eyes). When I looked at it at home it was a 1928 Philadelphia cent. I grade it Fine Details but reverse scratches would bring that down considerably.

    It's not every day I find an 80-year-old coin in change.

    Cool, nice find. :thumb: The scratches might not bring it down that much, depending on the person. Send it to SGS, might get a MS-66 DMPL. ;) :D

    MS-66 DMPL? Your underestimating it. MS70, all day, all the time, everyday. MS70 RED all the way!
