Abe would be proud!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Neat!!
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Wow-Amazing!!
Can't help but wonder, if he came from an elder family member's long hoarded jar or can?

Interesting find.
Cool
I would have been tickled pink to get that in change!
Neat
This one has also been around for a century but, to my delight, it has not at all been of service.
We need emeraldATV to take some close up pics of that coin.

Nice find.... I like still getting the occasional wheatie in change... I even check the 'take a cent, leave a cent' tray for wheaties. Yes, I also contribute to those trays.

So how much are you going to put it up on eBay for?

Kennedys are my quest...
Awesome. I occasionally get one from back in the '40s, but nothing this old.

In accordance with The Great Wheatstalk Act of 1968, all wheatstalks belong in the collection. They go here. Although according to another rule from my childhood collecting days, this early date would go in a Cents Plain Whitman holder rather than the bottle). The 21 in my Lincoln Whitman from those days is nicer.
I was really glad I found this one BEFORE it had 100 years of service

In 2010 I received this coin from a Safeway Store change machine:
United States Cent 1912
The coin was 98 years old at the time.
