Stopped at a local gas station that I frequent. There was a much older woman (by about 4-years) than me, standing in front of me. She must of been very attractive in her younger years. However, I could tell she's been around the block awhile by her current appearance and stature, and enjoyed being around men all her life. Very tall & dignified, but yet didn't talk much. She put some coins on the counter to pay the cashier, at which I noticed from a distance what appeared to be a very old penny. I asked if I could see the cent and she said yes. She said that it has been in her possession for as long as she could remember. It was a very good looking 1910-P cent. I then asked again if she would like to part with it now that it's 107-years old. She said YES, only if I could promise to give it a good home. I mentioned the fact that I've been building a Lincoln Cent collection for each of my 13-grandchildren, and that it would look just grand on page-1 of one of the folders given to one of the kids. She asked if I collect coins, and told her that I've been doing it since the early 60's, and only wished that I had started sooner, much sooner, like maybe the 50's or even the late 40's. She then said, by all means take the cent and give it a good home, then proceeded to ask if she could come over some day to see the coin in the collection along with the rest of my entire collection. I asked her if right now would be a good time, her reply was, "Really, right now, I'm so excited to see what you have accumulated". I then offered her money for the 1910 cent, she only said, fifty-one cents for the offer to see the rest of the collection. With that I took the cent, and she followed me home for the rest of the evening. I never picked up a woman like that before over an old coin conversation. The rest is private and history.
