Went to the local tot-lot here where I live for a couple hours today...got TONS of can slaw from the baseball field, and just happened to come across my very first "happy" penny! Weird!! LOL Anyways...I also found a 1969 quarter in really nice shape, so I thought I'd post a pic of it on here as well. Happy Thanksgiving to you all, happy hunting, and have a wonderful day!

Re: A Happy Penny!
Nice finds buddy!
I'd keep that smiley face penny on you for good luck from now on!

I'm passionate about hunting relic sites . . . as I feel the imprint of past lives often lingers there!
Metal Detectorists finds . . . are the background noise of antiquity!
Don't question it . . . just dig it!
That penny is a hoot! We've seen pennys shot at, turned into jewelry, chemically altered to look silver, run over by trains... now a happy penny. If there's only clad to be found, might as well be happy clad.
Yeah, I laughed so hard when I pulled it out from the hole!! Never seen anything like it before...but I'm keeping it on me from now on for good luck!

Probably a laser cut...but I'm quite certain that for the rest of my days metal detecting...it's safe to say that I'll never find another penny like this one!!

I see these for sale usually at the counter of book stores. they are attached to a card similar to a book mark, and are meant to be a gift item for a friend and come in several themes like smiles, crosses, angels, etc....
