<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 33754, member: 1779&quot;]A few years ago, I gave my family a toy slot machine for Christmas. It was an instant success and everyone dug into their pockets for pennies to give it a try. My mother-in-law pulled out a bunch and ran them through the machine. I was next, won a jackpot and noticed a number of wheat pennies dated in the teens and 20s including a 1909 VDS (no S), but no duplicate dates. I asked to see all her pennies from her change purse and there were even more, maybe fifteen in all. I asked her where she got her change and she had no idea since she had been Xmas shopping all over the city. I surmised some kid had raided his father&#039;s coin collection and spent them for Xmas presents or whatever. None were key dates, but all were VF+ circulated condition. I think I still have some.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still find an occasional wheat cent or silver dime or quarter and pull them out of circulation. Now if I could only get in line behind some little old lady who just spent a pile of Morgan for groceries...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
