[QUOTE="mcz0804a, post: 3077054, member: 94981"]One of my threads in the US Coins board was about this humble little coin, a 1903 Indian Head Cent. [ATTACH]774138[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]774139[/ATTACH] [USER=22068]@swish513[/USER] & [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] made these points: Which made me think, what has this coin seen? What could it have bought? Who could have possessed it? Well here's some answers: Major Events of 1903: ~This IHC could have sat in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Michtom']Morris[/URL] or Rose Mitchom's pocket as they released the worlds first Teddy Bear. ~A Service Member could have had this coin in Cuba when they leased Gitmo to the US. ~It could have been given as change at the first Stock Car Race at the Milwaukee Mile. ~It could have been in the till at the Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds when Boston beat Pittsburgh in the first World Series. ~Wilbur Wright could have been fidgeting with this coin as his brother piloted the first heavier-than-air flight. An IHC could have bought: ~1 piece of candy ~1 egg These people could have owned this coin: ~George Orwell ~Lou Gerhig ~Bob Hope ~Eliot Ness I know these are all very romantic notions. But fun nonetheless. So, what could be the history of your favorite circulated coin?[/QUOTE]
