A DesCENT Was Inevitable, I Suppose

Val is no longer on the top of her penny game. Oh, how the mighty has fallen. No more 30+ penny days for her! A single cent these days is cause for celebration.

Like this lone Lincoln that awaited me on WEDNESDAY, May 1. I might have treated it with more reverence, had I known at the time of finding that this would be my singular cent for the week.

It was a 1988, face down. Showing me its tail! Such a cheeky copper! Still, better than a shut-out.

Don't you worry about nearly-penny-less Val, though! She had other fish to fry this week.

In case you missed it, the winner was this:

That's $200! But that's not all. Two days later, I bought THIS:

It was JUST a $100 winner. Not that I'm complaining. That's almost a year of pennies.

"HO HO HOOOOOLD the presses!" shouts jolly old Even Steven, with his impeccable sense of humor and timing. "I have once again bestowed upon Val a last-minute coin while she's in town, with her Saturday CENTSus pre-set to publish."

 

It was a dime, (my word!) waiting for my hoard, in Orb K, looking up at me! [Heh, heh, a little song lyric theft from Val. Thanks, Eagles!] Actually, it was NOT looking up at me, because it was face down.

I don't know the year, because it's still in my shirt pocket upstairs. These last-minute finds tend to discombobulate me. I found this one at 12:50, with my post set to publish at 12:54. I might come back later to add the year. For record-keeping purposes. [1996]

I suppose this was Even Steven evening the dastardly trick he pulled LAST Saturday, when I spied a dime in Orb K, under the energy supplement racks, too far back for harvesting. That could be their new slogan. "Orb K: For all your energy supplement and floor-dime needs."
