Any information would be greatly appreciatedPost is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -

So I am to assume that under that is a copper wheat penny? That is really strange. It's been sitting in a "piggy" bank with a couple hundred other wheat pennies for at least thirty years. It tough to fathom who would go through the trouble to plate it then put it back in circulation for someone else to stash away for thirty years. Nothing ceases to amaze me these days.MorePost is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.
