    Same here! No one spends a PENNY (or any coin, for that matter) untill it is looked at!

        Did the train track thing when I was a boy to. The hardest thing was trying to find it after a train going 50 mph hits it. Good old Penn Central. We made necklaces out of them in the basement workshop at my best friends house. Fun times. Tom

          O yea!!..I use to do it all the time. The hard part is finding them after the train throws them off the track into the rocks.

            Here is a nickel (I know, this is a Lincoln Cent forum, but I splurged that day) that was flattened by a Conrail SD40-2 locomotive. I engraved the info when I got home to remember where and when. Not much left of it to ID it as a nickel.
