Mom's pennies- 1847 dutch half cent

Postby knibloe » Wed Nov 23, 2011 9:47 pm

We are staying at my moms for Thanksgiving. She brought out about a half gallon of pennies. The first thing that I noticed was a tiny coin. I had my wife (smaller hands) fish it out before i rolled the jar. It was a 1847 Dutch half cent. I will send pic whenI get home

Also, must be 50+ wheats and 1 canadian nickel.

Thanks Mom!!!!

Cool find. Has to be one of the oldest "in the wild" finds of anyone on this site...
