[QUOTE="nuMRmatist, post: 3017898, member: 33012"]Mine was a '17 Wheat that I got in change from an Arby's in '68. I was 9 y/o, and don't know what intrigued me about it - I think I had recently gotten interested in old coins, but I was hooked from then on. Next day at school, my trophy got trumped by Steve Boothe, whose dad had just brought him a brand new '68 S Lincoln from a trip out West (we were in Balt. MD). Steve was always trumpin' my trophies. I got a Whitman Tri-Fold; HE got the Whitman ALBUM. I got a Baltimore Clippers Hockey puck (had to trade a bunch of Orioles' BB Cards for it too), Steve got a ball autographed by Clay Dalrymple. We were best buddies, but dang he was always one-uppin' me... (on the cents; I won't say which of the 2 of us said, "Wanna' trade?", but he's NOT gettin' ready to click on 'Post Reply' (another hint; there was no trade, 'cause one of me said "nope"). ) ;)[/QUOTE]
