First target in my favorite totter this morning, underneath the horizontal tire swing! 1874 IHP! I have been hitting this Elementary school place for years, Sat or Sunday Mornings, probably 300 times...The horizontal tire swing is the first location, so I start there, and I work the rest of the place on a steady autopilot...I could do it with my eyes closed....My Sunday morning early milk route run...
Over the years, I've gotten two gold items out of here, and lord, just lots of clad, paper money, pencils, whathaveyou...one time a spill of 4 dollar coins under the swings...anyway...its been real light pickens for the past year, but I still keep going there....First target, ping...A fresh dropped IHP! So what naturally comes to a guys mind?
SOME KID RAIDED GRANDPAS COIN COLLECTION!!!!WOOOWEEEE! No telling what else could be in here today! The hair on the back of my neck stood up thinking about all the Silver Dollars, Seateds! $20Gold coins! A copper 1943 Wheatie!!!! Maybe a 1944 Steelie, or a 1913 V nickel? All tossed around out here like skittles!
As this thought hit me, I had to stagger over to the slide to take a picture, sit down and calmly have a smoke.....Gazing over the place through the blue fog of the nonfilter, Sun not up yet, surreal and exciting! Like Loch Ness, except with monkey bars and swing sets!! I had to go wee wee all of the sudden, so I did....Then, I stood up, put my phones back on, squished the smoke out in the damp chips I created, and I went to work it serious!...to no further avail...
Then, I headed home, and picked some Lilacs for my Wife along side the road, snatched up 7 errant cans in the ditch, (70c). Stopped at the beer store and got me some...along with 3 $2 scratchoffs, one of which garnered $10! Wooo! $4 positive on my investment! In your face 401k!
Near as I can determine, this coin is in 'good' condition, worth maybe $15 at my next coin club meeting perhaps....I'll take it..Successful morning just out dinking around....Kids are notorious thieves...
