Just cruising the park strips in town. Fun day of hunting! Silver Rosie. Pool Hall Champ trophy top. Haha. That was fun pulling from the dirt! And a weird 1974 penny with WY engraved on it. Does anyone know the significance of that? Thanks for looking!

A couple of fun finds there. Maybe the penny originated in Wyoming: WY

Congrats on the productive strip hunt. Put a small coil on the end of that cue stick. Carry him when you detect as your good luck charm.:D

Haha. Hated carrying him around for the hour he was in my pocket. I've lost a little weight. I'm in between belt holes... either they keep falling down or so tight I can't breathe.
 
I've done a little googleing and found out that a company stamped 1974, '75 and '76 pennies with all the states and sold them as a set. You can find them on eBay. I just happened to find a Wyoming one. Anyone else found a state stamped penny?
 
Nice hunt there,
now you've got yourself a mascot to hang your rings and things from. :lol:
a golden pool playing champ with an Elvis hair-doo :laughing:
 
Maybe someone wanted it to go with their state quarter or perhaps their initials

No, but very interesting info, I was just making a wild guess on Wyoming. Sometimes the old blind sow finds a nest, lol.
