Last week, at the local pump-n-munch, a youngster was purchasing an energy drink and a candy bar with mostly pennies.
I was next in line as the flustered clerk was counting out the cash.
I spied what I believed to be an old penny and I bought the penny from the till.
1913...San Fran mint.
Whoa, great catch!
I've been collecting pennies since I was a kid and have most pennies from 1909 to 1980 in my collection, including the hard to find 1909S VDB in fine condition.
If I don't give the collection to my son,I may cash it in upon retirement.
I still look for the older pennies, but most are Lincoln Memorial cents.
