    "One rare penny in the collection that was printed backwards had recently been valued at $50,000."

    What do you suppose that could have been?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Wow, just wow. Boneheads of the year. Strange though, a penny printed backwards? $50,000? What? Like a brockage?

    "They retrieved coins from the cashing machine "

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Glad to see that for once they caught the culprit.
    Hope that stupidity really hurts in this case.
