 When I seen (saw?) this picture the first thing I though about was could you imagine if there was a 1923 Canadian or a 1909 s vdb laying in that box?

Is that one dollar Canadian Lol. And "saw" would be the correct verb

Depending on the penny, it might actually be a good deal.
"Saw" is correct for standard English, though in some dialects "seen" is preferred as the past tense.

I should start a saw vs seen thread in general discussion. For what ever reason that is the only verb I have a problem conjugating.
I'm still waiting for someone to comment " I believe he means lucky cent..."

There used to be a dealer in North NJ. I think from Roxbury coins if I am not mistaken. He used to go around in those "need a penny,take a penny" things by the cash register and put key date pennies to try to get people into coins. I mean 1909 svdb,1922,1955 lincolns. Can you imagine what that must feel like!
I thought about it and what a wonderful way to put key dates back into the wild for someone to hopefully find and pick up and then get hooked on coins because they found a 3-800 dollar penny hanging out!
