cwgii, welcome to the very exclusive club. Not too many find silver in cents. Once I found my first my next three came quickly. Good luck in finding more.

Live free or die. Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

| That plastic penny is the true rarity. They are worth a lot, being made from oil and all. Be sure and report the find in the tracking thread. |
