Wife made my day today. Pictures added.

I think my coin collecting has finally caught on with the wife. She regularly wraps our loose change and takes it to the bank. Well today she came in to see me all excited about a coin she had found, it was only a well toned 1943 steel cent, but the fact was she noticed it was different than the other coins and brought it to me to take a look. I was very happy, it was a small thing but it made my morning.

1943 cent

    I must be getting tired.

    Thought the thread was OT and "Wife made me a dad today".

    That sounds cool and is nice to have a common interest to do together... Now tell her to watch for the same date except in copper as the rest of us do... image

    Your wife has a good eye for different coins.
    So was the 43 lincoln a keeper?

    Toned? Was it natural or artificial rust?

    I regularily slip common date Indian Heads in good into my wifes change purse. She has yet to bring one back and say "honey, look what i found in my change. " Hopefully when she spends them, they make other people's day.

    Maybe, mariner. Jeez, it looks like that's the symbol I started with, then I spruced it up a bit. I may have uploaded that one many moons ago.
