Yard Sale Cache

[bazinga]

I was out driving Saturday morning and saw a yard sale that looked promising. I came across a tiny little glass piggybank that looked fairly old. There were some coins in it and the lady said it was all pennies and that I could have it for 50 cents, so I thought hey, why not? I could see some a wheat penny when I peared in through the crack. It was the kind that you had to break open to get the money out. Here are the totals for what I found in it:

You are having a great year, bud! I am stuck on 35 for now. RP and I are actually hunting areas that are too old for Indian Heads. I'm finding more Colonials now. HH!

Must be rough digging those colonials haha Quit rubbing it in.... here in central Indiana we don't have anything that old unfortuanetly. I need to plan trips to find oldies like that!

Hard to believe the lady didn't even think about seeing what was in it herself before selling it! Nice find!

When I was about 12, this kid I knew down the block had an actual slot machine in his basement.
I was already into coin collecting, and the window at the front of the slot machine was crammed full of Mercury dimes....
*sigh*

I envied that kid....though it belonged to his mom, and I don't think she was gonna allow him to have access to those dimes....
