johnsolaris Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 07/29/2023 11:01 am Hi, I had to go into the small town I live in early this morning & on the way home I stopped at the local drive thru for breakfast.. I always use cash at food places & when I checked my change in the car, this 49-s LWC popped out. Put away those debit cards, it pays to use cash. Now how do I clean off the gunk on this nice coin that has been hiding for so long. Report this Post to the Staff

If that doesn't help...throw him in a tube with all your other LWC finds... Thanks for sharing! smat Report this Post to the Staff

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 11:24 am Great find! I'm sure that cent is happy to have a permanent home after working for so long. For me living in the northeast, "D" coins are somewhat hard to find while "S" are now almost unheard of. There's nothing like checking one's change and finding a treasure. Financially right now, it makes more sense for me to use my debit card than cash, so I miss getting change in my hand. I do seek out opportunities whenever I can. Yesterday, for example, I needed to go to the library to print some sheets from my email account. They charge 20 cents per page and only take cash. I printed two sheets and gave the lady an SBA dollar. Of course she thought it was a quarter and said I needed to give her more money. I told her what the SBA was and she laughed sheepishly as she gave me my sixty cents in change. The dime and two quarters did yield anything worth saving, but I enjoyed savoring the possibility that there might have been. Edited by jpsned 07/30/2023 11:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
