Over the past few years I have had some very nice blessings to come my way by way of pocket change. Mercs, War nickels a couple of Indian Heads. I tell you when it does happen I am like a kid on Christmas morning. I would have to dig through my collection to post a pic of the Flying Cent and unfortunately, I just looked through my spreadsheet and noticed that I did not catalog it.
