43. Oh I like that

Wed Jul 1, 2026, 10:38 AM

Yesterday

Grandpa collected coins and started us all off early collecting wheat pennies for him

So, I have always been in the habit of tucking away less common coins and have a number of bicentennial quarters. I think I’ll go through those this week.

Thanks for the reminder
