Pleasant suprise on a slow day at work...

A little bit of snow today and all the girls decide to stay home from work leaving me with a nice, quiet office...so I decided to clean up my desk and the office
safe...in the safe I find an envelope with a S-44 in it...I am not really absent-minded rather a little careless with my coins in the office...I know why this coin
was lost in the safe as I had decided to collect only 1794 pennies that carried a cute Maris name like the Egeria or Roman Plica and the S-44 does not
have any such name so I probably set it aside and forgot about it...in any event a nice surprise and hopefully at next Baltimore I can trade it for a Maris-named penny...

    Thank you for the generous giveaway... please include me image



    sort of a side note... would you be open to a trade for a baseball signed by Roger Maris? image
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    Longacre gets excited when he gets a 2009 Lincoln at the cafeteria at work. I wonder what he would do if he ever "found" a 1794 cent. image

    For me, a quiet day at work usually means more work and less fun. I wish I could find a coin like that laying around in my safe... I guess I could search my penny tray... again.

    That's the worst four letter word I know.
    I try to avoid it.
    Since I am retired, thats not as hard as it used to be.
