Who knew it would be THERE??

[baylorhall]

I am pumped! Other than the worn buffalo nickel I found in MO at the inlaws, I have never found anything old in our part of the world. Today I was at a tot lot that had sand instead of wood chips. I dug a signal and couldn't believe my blue eyes! A 1858 US penny!! At first I thought maybe it was a foreign coin and couldn't possibly be an old penny. I can't imagine how it got there unless it was some kid's lucky penny or something. It is really worn and someone scratched their initials on the eagle. I really don't care! I am just happy to have found something beside clad. You just never know, do you??

I would go play the lottery if I was you. I know the odds are long, however, the chances of you finding that penny in a tot-lot are even longer That my friend is a SWEEEEEEET find!!! Especially since you found it in a tottie. Way to go

I would do some local research about that specific area. Maybe when they grated the dirt they kicked it up. Who knows?

Wow! That's awesome

I would try to find out where that sand came from. . .

 

[baylorhall]

I know...I wondered if it came with the sand. Probably not likely, but wish I knew! I had no idea that these were made for such a short time. Now I am even more thankful!

Hey that's awesome dude! I live in the northern Texas panhandle and there are just not alot of opportunities to breach that 1800's mark. I'm somebody around here did! Congrats!

From the patina, it was not in the ground not very long. Me thinks that a kid got into the coin collection again...
