I would say next time - don't shake the bag. Just deposit it. No temptation and no possibility of getting in trouble. :)
Nice looking coin - can't say for sure about pictures being juiced. This is a good example of coins going straight from heritage to ebay with a...

I don't think there is a certain age. When I was little from about 6-7 I loved just searching Grandma's pennies for wheat cents. Then when I was...
