*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***Went antiquing with the wife this morning, just something to do. There was a booth of coins. I, of course, had to see what was there. The owner of the booth had a junk bin marked $2 each. I dug through and found a coin marked 1909 Indian Head cent. It looked at a glance as being untouched but I didn't really look closely. I figured for 2 bucks not too bad. I picked up a few others and went to pay for my goods. I got home a little while ago and to my astonishment look what I ended up with...   I had to have the wife look as well as I thought I was seeing things. Has this happened to anyone before?

TNG you're correct! Except this time I just plucked it out without really looking at it until I got home! I've got a couple of god daughters that collect coins as well. Couldn't believe it this morning.
