RE: MYSTERY PRIZE - CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS COIN? - Do YOU collect US COINS?
1943 US steel penny? As a one year old child in 1955 I swallowed one of those and had to be taken to the hospital to have it removed from my throat. Its still around here somewhere.
Funny reply, LMAO!
I have no memories of it...but my mom probably didn't think it was funny at the time! And my dad had to change his habits about where he left his change.
I thought that was a funny story too
Wow you got it fast and had time to add a story about a Steel penny. Very cool and congrats! Glad you made out OK as a child and interesting that you still have the coin from 60 years ago
Only because my mom saved it! She always referred to it as a lead penny.
Thank you @melinda010100 for your entry and your hilarious story.
