Something I have never seen before searching Lincoln's

Good Afternoon,

I have been sick for the last 8 days. Severe sinus congestion, headache, ear aches (both ears), eyes hurt, headache, etc. I am sure you know the drill!! Went to Dr. and got antibiotics and afrin. After 4 days of meds almost 60% human again (75% is normal for me)

A friend dropped off about $160.00 in loose change for me to go through. I was separating the coins into appropriate denominations and had not found a coin worth keeping! Well, better luck next time.

Started the last batch and low and behold 1 wheat cent, it was a 1924. Well worn but hey, after 87 years I will be worn as well, but hopefully still in "Fine" shape! Then as I was bout to put the cents back into the bag, I saw a "blank". I examined it very closely (10X glass) I have never found one of these before. I thought it was not one at first, but everything started to add up. Size, Check! Beveled edges, check! Thickness, check! Hmmmm. Looked some more. Wiped it off (Sorry, just had too!) Hmmmm. This might be a blank! WOW! 1 more thing to check, the weight! Aha! Well. I have a grain scale from when I used to reload bullets, so it will certify the weight! Got it out and checked the weight. It weighed 2.499g Close enough!!

It was a blank!!! It may not be worth anything to anyone, but to me it will be worth quite a bit!

Have many other fellow collectors found any? How uncommon is it to find one? All input would be appreciated

So all in all it was a good day!!! I will stop boring you now.

Thanks for reading.

Todd
