1st for me

Postby AdamsSamoa » Mon Oct 29, 2018 12:19 pm

Found a war cent in change over the weekend. I got it in change at a drive thru. I looked at my change and saw it was a wheat cent and tossed it in my cup holder. I just thought that it had some funky white stuff on it. I did not look at the date until I got home. First for me!!

I truly think that it is easier to find an Indian Head cent in the wild than it is a war cent. Nice going.

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

Good snag. Still cool things to be found out there.

Nice find! I found a war nickel emptying my pocket one day last week. It either came from the hoagie shop or the gas station. I didn't look closely at my change at either place. Had a similar experience about a year ago. Found a war nickel in my pocket change at the end of the day, but wasn't sure where it came from :lol:
