surprise in a half

[SnakemanBill]

Stopped by one of my banks to see if they had any halves I could buy of their coin counter. They only had $13.50 in halves but as the teller was pulling them from the bag she plops down an 1845 large cent on the counter. I asked if I could have it and she wasn't sure. Her boss said it was in the 50 cent bag so treat it like a 50 cent piece. So I got 13.50 in skunk and a decent 1845 large cent. not too bad!

Not too long ago I found a 1907 large cent in a MWR. And, it was an extra coin in the roll. I enjoy finding things like that.
Congrats!!!!

I really doubt you found a 1907 large cent in a roll. Reason why is they don't exist. Indian heads back then. Maybe you mean Canadian large cent.

My mistake. 1907 one penny
Coincidentally today I found my first foreign ender. (See new post)

About two weeks ago I found an 1896 British penny in a box of halves.
