So I ordered twenty penny boxes yesterday.they have been producing with moderate wheats throughout. I just dropped into my local td bank to dump a few boxes. When the machine filled I noticed something awesome in the half bag. The teller was nice enough to exchange one of my halves for it. Funny how searching penny's led to me getting my oldest penny ever

Great find, and highly unusual, you better buy all possible other bags cuz you never know if other TYPE coins may have fallen in with that large cent. Congrats & HH

I found 2 in a bag of halves years ago. I'll happily give 50 cents for those things all day.

I had the same thing happen to me a few months back in a small town in Wisconsin, I asked to purchase the unfilled bag of halves off their machine and they complied. And much to my surprise, there's a very beat up large cent. I figured I'd find one in the dirt before EVER getting one from a bank, let alone a bag of halves.

Great eye spotting that and not a bad trade for 50 cents!
