Default Circulating for 78 years.

Counting the offering last Sunday I noticed a wheatie in the plate. Exchanged it for a new one and brought it home. I've found em there before, but never that old. Its a 29 & very well worn. I'd sure like to know where all its been.

If only ole Abe could talk I'm sure he'd have a few stories to tell of where he's been all these years!

Smile Neat find, unique way

Finds are finds. Neat wheatie. My oldest is 1927, same as my Mother's birth year. Definitely would like to read the psychometry - got to be some neat tales from an object that gets the circulation of a penny.
Happy hunting:santa1:
