    If you find a coin "in" circulation, does that mean the coin "is" circulated? It's a trick question. 🤣 😉

    Truly the beauty of numismatics. We can spend five figures on a coin yet many times we love these kid collector coins we still have even more. I vividly remember getting that 15 D in change buying a cream donut at Deys Bakery! Been in my ol Whitman ever since.

    Yes mine was a toy store yo-yo purchase. The kids at my school were all about the Duncan butterfly and I had to have one. It was $2.42 and I got back all wheat cents for pennies. I asked if I could look at the rest and he dumped out the tray contents on the counter. Lots of 20’s stuff. I remember specifically seeing the 15-D and thinking “wow, that’s an old one”. He sold me all of them for face value. I already knew where the coin shops were because I rode my bike everywhere back in Orlando those days. There were actually a few. I may have actually rode out that day to buy my first Whitman album.

    one of my favoritest pennies...walnut toning on this lightly circulated beauty. I got this one out of it's holder not only to photograph it but to remove the dirt seen on the obverse's periphery.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    That happened to me 16 years ago once in Homestead, FL. The cash register cent bin at a convenience store was filled with old wheat cents but the clerk didn't speak any English, and I could not swing a coin exchange for those old Lincolns. It was really frustrating. I came away thinking what would have happened if this was a medical emergency.

    I've spent 5 figures with a decimal point after the first three figures on a coin. My first 1909-S V.D.B. cost me $620.00. :) I never had the money necessary to buy an S V.D.B. when they were about $80 for a nice one. For $80 in 1962 one could buy a 1909-S V.D.B. penny in "Ex. Fine."
