Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 202328, member: 4552"]That was just on recently on a station that plays all the oldies. That one really gave me a laugh. Paul Drake was standing on a corner fliping a coin that was supposed to be worth thousands. I think it was some kind of half dollar. Later he accidently gave it to a cigarett lady but she gave it back. Everyone on that program handled every rare coin with their bare hands. The best part was at the end when Perry Mason asked that that coin be marked as evidense and they showed the Balliff marking the bare coin with something. During that show they also showed other rare coins being handled by everyone. As to the 1943 copper I stand corrected. That was on bones and there also everyone handled the coin with their bare hands. And as to the statement that there is no US Penny, right now on TV is a movie from 1941 with Cary Grant called Penny Serenade. Then there is that song called Pennies From Heaven. And of course about 50 million kids call that Copper cent a Penny. Majority rules. At one time Ain't was not excepted and now it's in the dictionary.[/QUOTE]
