We have recently become homeowners and have found it necessary to renovate our bathroom. My husband is doing the work himself (and I'm not above bragging that he's quite good at it :) He pulled up the stick down linoleum tiles the previous owners had put in crooked. Under that was some white linoleum he pulled up as well. And under that he found...this 1954 wheat penny.
We cannot be certain, but since our house was built in the 1950's we are guessing it may have been there since the house was built. It's kind of fun to think this may have been dropped as a shiny new penny and it has lain there, hidden, through the comings and goings of five and a half decades, for us to find it.
Just don't ask him to do brakes on a Buick:)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...at this point that isn't an issue, but I'll have to ask him if there's a story behind that ;)
