In the early '70s I took a job as a liquor store clerk while I was laid off from Lockheed and one evening an old lady brought in a roll of pennies. She asked if I could give her 50 cents for them and rather than open the till, I paid her from my own pocket.

When I opened the roll, it was all brand-new 1906 Indian Head pennies.

Unfortunately, that roll and all the silver I had accumulated ended up with my ex-wife a year later.

Oh well - I got to keep the silver Tetradrachma coin with Ptolemy III's face I found in the northern Sinai.
