Most of the longer time members know my wife is good at finding things in circulation. Well, she's at it again. Today, at Wal-Mart, the cashier handed her a steel cent. The cashier even told her, "don't worry, it's not a dime, it's a penny. They made them like this for one year." My wife knew what she was looking at, and asked if there were any more. There were 15 more. So she got 16 (!) steel cents (all from Philadelphia) in circulation. Apparently, some little old lady who said she'd had them since the war decided to spend them because "she needed cigarettes."
I would donate half of what you sell them for to a retirement home what if it was your own grandmother who needed a pack of smokes?!?!?! Just too let you know, I am just kidding, some will get what i mean no really though, that is a nice find!!! keep em coming!
Surely, he should! After all some poor senior citizen was just ripped off by Walmart! Just think, how mean and cruel those evil cashiers are to that poor senior cigarette smoker!
There was one old woman in a nearby town who paid a paperboy with WL halves and Merc. dimes. She had rolls and rolls of them.
Nice find! :thumb: I picked up a bright "yellow" 2004 "P" Lincoln at the bank today... The bank teller thought it was "funny"....
What good luck! I got about 5 lbs of coins from my trip to vegas and not 1 wheatie. I think I did get a couple of 50's nickels, but nothing else any good. Good find!
KLJ, I remember her doing that way back on the other forum. Glad she is still helping you out! :hail:
Great find! Just waiting for that CT member to accuse you of putting this old lady out on the street without food or warmth.
Had a paper route once where I get tipped with an American Silver Eagle once... still unsure if he was just being generous or honestly didn't know it's true value lol... though his inisistence that it was "just a dollar" made me somewhat suspect the latter...
