Val AcCOINplished a Lot in This Week's Future Pennyillionaire Quest

Such a good week!

 

SATURDAY, July 30, I had a hankerin' to get my scratchers over in Sis-Town. It turned out to be not such a good hunch, as scratchers go. But it paid off in coinage.

 

 

It was a face-down 2021 penny, looking pretty rough, just outside the door of the School-Turn Casey's. I was unable to get a longer shot, because a car pulled in where I was fiddling about with this surprise coin.

But wait! As I turned to walk over to T-Hoe, an even better surprise revealed itself.

 

At first I just saw that big honkin' QUARTER! But then my eye was attracted to the little rock next to a SECOND PENNY!

 

It was a face-down 2003 quarter, of the Maine lighthouse variety.

 

This was a heads-up 1983 penny, right in my path.

SUNDAY, July 31, found me traipsing out of the Liquor Store, scratchers in hand, to find another treat,  where I had seen no coin on the way in.

 

So lonely there on the Sunday evening parking lot, not many liquor-buyers around.

 

It was a face-down 1992 dime, shimmering with silvery goodness.

But I wasn't done yet! I headed across the street to the Backroads Casey's, where I noticed something while not-quite-admiring the gastrocnemius artwork on the customer ahead of me.

 

TWO coins for the taking!

 

A face-down 2021 penny, and a heads-up 2013 dime!

TUESDAY, August 2, I was bellied up to the counter at the Liquor Store when I saw something that lifted my already buoyant spirits.

 

No, it wasn't the return of the stained rug, nor the pee-doctoring products inside the case. It was TWO pennies, ripe for the harvest. I couldn't get a closeup of each, because the clerk was giving me the stinkeye. Almost as if she suspected me of criticizing the decor and business practices of her fine establishment on a blog about pennies. Anyhoo... it was a face-down 2020 penny, and a face-down 1989 companion.
