<p>[QUOTE="ArthurK11, post: 1464962, member: 34524"]Although I don't think anyone can beat K2Coin's story, I'll try. A few years ago before I was as interested in numismatics as I am now I was sitting on the beach one night watching my little cousins play. Being pretty bored I started digging around in the sand and I found a penny. I was about to throw it back in the sand but I noticed it was an old wheat cent so I decided to keep it. When I got home later on I noticed the color was weird but I just thought it was from being in the sand for a long time. The next day I looked at it closer and noticed it was minted in 1943, I remembered reading that they minted cents out of steel during WWII but I couldn't remember exactly what year. So I walked over to the fridge, grabbed a magnet, and it stuck. Put it back into my wallet, where its been ever since.</p><p> [ATTACH]183492.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]183493.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
