<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1635097, member: 11521&quot;]I went to Taco Bell today for lunch. My three tacos came to $3.18. I had three $1 bills and some dimes and nickels plus two cents. I was one cent short of having exact change so I handed the cashier $3.20 and received two cents back in change. I immediately noticed one coin was a Wheat Cent but my old eyes could not make out the date. Expecting it to be from the 1950s I put the coin in my watch pocket so I could inspect it later. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I got home it took out a loupe and looked at my coin. At first I didn&#039;t believe what I thought I saw. The date was 1909. Holy cow! I received a 104-year-old coin in change! That&#039;s pretty cool. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin does not have a mintmark but I cannot tell if it is a VDB because the coin is extremely corroded. It looks like this coin spent the better part of its life buried in the ground. But it is 104 years old and I received it in change today! Woo hoo!! I am glad I did not have that other cent I needed for exact change. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, no photos. I am in Georgia (to rebuild my father&#039;s house that burned last October) and my camera equipment is at my house in Colorado.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
