<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nickelman, post: 512233, member: 4633&quot;]Went to Ernest Hemingway’s house in Key West today. Learned a little coin fact.</p><p>Seems Ernest had a stormy relationship with his 2nd wife and while he was out of the country having an affair with to be wife 3, wife 2 had a swimming pool built at their Key West home. When Ernest returned he was a bit upset and when he asked how much the pool cost his wife replied 20K (this in the early 1930’s during the depression). He hit the roof, reached into his pocket and pulled out a Lincoln Cent and throwing it to the ground said you should take my last red cent as well. </p><p>&nbsp;Well wife number 2 had the cent permanently placed in the concrete where it landed for all to see and it is said after they divorced that she always delighted in telling the story and showing the cent and proclaiming she was the only one to get his last red cent.</p><p>&nbsp;Took a few photos and tried to figure out the date? Best I can tell it is a 22 plain date. JK can&#039;t tell what the date is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
