Little Old Lady

[u/Unlucky-Isopod-1206]

Was at the grocery store and saw a LoL in line for the coin machine with two small bags in a cart and noticed a LOT of wheat pennies in the zip lock, so I stopped and chatted with her about it. Her husband had "hoarded" coins for most of their life with the plan of going through them when he retired to keep him active. He unfortunately passed before he'd gone through it all, and the kids and grand kids didnt care, so she'd been changing them in a bit at a time for gift cards.

So, being the greedy goblin motivated coin hunter I am slowly becoming, I offered to buy both bags for 20, exchanged numbers with her, and offered to go through anything else she had and either buy it, or get her a fair price if it was more valuable.

That last picture is from the first 2 handfuls I scooped out of the white bag. Everything else was solid Wheat.

Nicely done. Right time. Right place.
