Hi Rachael--

Long time. Off topic, but I had to put my beloved Nuisance (14 yrs old) down last Saturday, thought of Kyra and you. I've been in two wars and have had many other pets and companions, but this was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my life. For now, I'll just grieve; I don't plan to get another cat for a long time bacause I'm not sure I could handle this again.

Back on topic, who in their right mind would keep a Flying Eagle cent in circulation? Working at a bank has its advantages, but to find an FE in circulation must have blown you off your chair. Ever find any Indian Heads? For you, I imagine wheat cents are relatively commonplace.

Hi Fred! I'm so sorry to hear about Nuisance, believe me I know how you feel! I also felt that I didn't want another cat after Kyra but Hayley just kind of fell into my lap, and she's been a great joy for me. She needed a home, and she just knew I needed a cat!

Yep, I've found a few Indian Head cents, I think a grand total of six, but the Flying Eagles are among the coolest of my finds- even if they are barely identifiable. One of these days I need to go through my "finds" box and catalog them again, I had posted a list on the old CoinWorld forum. You're right, the wheat cents are a dime a dozen... not that I'm complaining!
