It was 1955 in Oak Ridge Tennessee, I was 8 years old and new nothing about coins. My dad had a blue and white 55 Chevrolet that I really liked. So, I see this Penney in my hand all shiny and new with two dates on it. It stood out like a sore thumb. I showed it to my family members and no one new what it was other than a new Penney. Because my dad had that 55 chevy and I had that strange looking double die 1955 Penney I'll just carry it for good luck. Well, it didn't bring me much luck. One day I was standing in front of a bubble gum machine and wanted that gum bad. No money, then I remembered that 55 double die penny hidden in my Roy Rogers bill fold and I pulled it out, put it in the machine, got my gum and went about my day. Many years later after developing an interest in collecting coins did I understand the value of that special penny I found and carried it a year before spending it. Live & Learn!
