RSSGeek News Daily is Up! 25 Lucky Pennies!
Aug 20
Hey readers!
I blog with some great news! Geek News Daily has finally returned! After not having an episode since the end of March, I have finally found time to bring it back. This episode is a little different since I decided to go without a script. Give it a listen and let me know if you think its better with or without the script as I am looking to make improvements. Also, it is longer than normal. In the past, I have always tried to keep it to around 7 minutes whereas this one was just over 12 minutes. If you have an opinion on the length, give that to me as well!
While that is great, it wasn’t the only good part of my day. I managed to get my hands on 25 Indian head pennies that are all over 100 years old. Its kind of a cool story. I went to KFC to pick up some lunch and when I got my change back, I noticed that the pennies were smaller than they should have been. I glanced quickly at it and saw that it said one cent on the side facing me and just figured it was a foreign coin as I tend to get alot of those in my change. While waiting for my food, I flipped the two pennies over to give them another look and to my amazement, not only were they U.S. currency, but they were old Indian head pennies over 100 years old. I quickly asked the employee if they had anymore to which he said yes. I immidiately told him to swap the other change that he gave me for any other pennies he had. He did so as he originally thought they were fake until I pointed out what they were. In the end, I ended up with 25 pennies from the years of 1891, 1902, 1906 and 1907. Knowing when I saw them that they were worth well over a penny, I knew I would be a complete idiot not to get them. I plan on finding out the value in the next day or two before deciding what to do with them. I might sell them but will most likely decide to keep them.
Anyway, I would call today a good day. Now time to leave work and go pick up some Chinese food on the way home.
