<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MsMolly, post: 7663490, member: 121019&quot;]Here&#039;s the story - in 1972, while my mother-in-law was pregnant, my father-in-law made a $50 bet with someone that the baby would be a boy. When this person lost the bet, he jokingly paid my father-in-law in pennies - specifically, a mint sewn bag of 1972 pennies from Philadelphia (this person was on the board of the local bank). Fast forward 49 years... while cleaning out my in-laws&#039; basement, I discovered the untouched bag of pennies stored in the back of a metal cabinet. I soon found myself sucked into the joys of penny hunting, and I am now totally obsessed with learning everything I can about pennies (not to mention I love my super cool coin microscope). I have been practicing with pocket change, as I have yet to decide what to do with the unopened 1972 bag. I&#039;m most likely going to dive into it, but I&#039;m curious to get outside opinions...what would you do? Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - There was a similar conversation in the forum archives, but it was from 2010.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
