I pulled a really interesting coin out of change recently. I always put wheat ear pennies aside. They have no real value, and most are from the 40's and 50's but I do it as force of habit. But I found an old looking one a couple of months ago and I checked the date and it was 1909, the first year of issue! No "s" and no "V.D.B." but still, how did a penny from 1909 remain in circulation until 2006?
