<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3094910, member: 89393&quot;]Well, I don&#039;t know where this one has been, but my patience paid off at Walmart just an hour ago when a store employee assisted an older lady with the Coin Star machine. The woman had thousands of coins that looked like they might have been mostly pennies, based on what I could overhear about 15 feet away. I remained quiet so as not to alert them to my presence, and I had my fingers crossed as the store employee tore off the paper from the machine and handed it to the customer. Bingo! She didn&#039;t look in the reject bin. As the employee escorted the lady to customer service to redeem her CS ticket, I sauntered over to the machine where I spied a dozen or so round brown objects, one of which was the reverse of a very nice looking Wheatie. </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t want to blow it by jumping up and down excitedly so I just put my bounty in my pocket and made it out the door.&nbsp; It&#039;s a 1929S in VF condition, and I wonder just how it was that the coin has been able to make it these past eight decades without being badly ravaged.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, no pics; I have neither the skills nor equipment needed to deliver a decent photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
