Limited success this week in bagging the elusive penny! It was literally a repeat of last week! On SUNDAY, October 3, I was pleased to spot a penny waiting for me in the entryway of Country Mart.
I didn't want to hurt business by ample-rumpusing those entering after me, so I walked past the penny and turned to get the picture. Those who'd already filled their cart were unlikely to abandon them in horror once the ample-rumpusing commenced. There's one of the lottery machines on the left.
It was a face-down 2020 penny, so shiny and photogenic against the tile background.

THURSDAY, October 8, I was at the Sis-Town Casey's for T-Hoe's weekly gas. My preferred Pump 4 was occupied by a USPS LLV! So I had to take Pump 3. After trading in scratchers and pre-paying, I headed back to the pumps.
Perhaps you don't have Val's eagle eye. It's behind T-Hoe, in the direction of the Claddagh Irish Dance studio and pawn shop. They're separate businesses, but in the same mini mall.
Here's a bit closer view. There it is! To the left of the two tar spots. I was quite excited at first, thinking it was a quarter. Seems that Val's eagle eye is more of a hummingbird eye.
It was a face-down 1976 NICKEL! Such an endangered species in Val's Future Pennyillionaire Fortune. So special. !976 was a very good year.

I like Country Mart's floor colours, but somebody needs to get down and scrub the bases of those doors and that lottery machine. Or perhaps just paint them dull black.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't see that nickel until you showed us the actual nickel photo.
Country Mart is one of the cleaner floors I tread upon!
DeleteI try to show the general area where I first spy the coin. Otherwise, it would be boring to only see close-ups. Sometimes I have to zoom in to find it again, but at least I know about where it was located.
I found a dime this week and two pennies. You are an eagle eye.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous about the dime! But I don't begrudge you the pennies.
