<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennsteve, post: 1388901, member: 33011&quot;]I remember when I was a kid, probably around 10, I didn&#039;t really collect coins but I knew that some of them were worth money.&nbsp; One summer day I found a 1943-D steel penny.&nbsp; I thought I was rich!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It was a Sunday and I couldn&#039;t wait until Monday so I could take it to the coin shop and find out how many hundreds of thousands of dollars it was worth.&nbsp; I kept taking it out of my pocket and looking at it.&nbsp; Sunday night I couldn&#039;t sleep.&nbsp; I kept thinking about the things I&#039;d buy when I sold the penny.&nbsp; I finally fell asleep and woke up the next morning and went to the coin shop.&nbsp; It was closed on Mondays.&nbsp; I was disappointed but still happy because I knew I was rich.&nbsp;&nbsp; On Tuesday I took it in.&nbsp; When he told me it was worth about 3 cents I thought he was trying to put one over on me.&nbsp; I thought he might figure I&#039;d just let him have it and get rich himself.&nbsp; I asked if he was sure about the worth.&nbsp; He pointed to a display case where he had a bin full of them with the price tag at (I don&#039;t remember exactly), but it was around .25 cents each.&nbsp; I don&#039;t remember what happened to that penny, but it was my first &quot;collectible&quot; coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
