So I walk into Wendys to grab a quick bit to eat and I see 16 pennies on the counter and the mgr looking at them. I notice right away 2 things 1 they are Wheat Backs and the next is the color isn't right. She asks me if there's something wrong with them. I said no they look like steel pennies to me. If you want I will buy them off of you and give you 16 cents in "real" money. She said fine and we switch coins. I almost had a heart attack when I got home to see that in 1943 they also made copper coins that are worth 20k each. They don't stick to a magnet. Of course all of mine are steel. Still a good find!!

Nice score on the steelies!! I went into a conv. store a few years back and when the clerk gave me my change, I heard that silver "clink" when it hit my hand. Two silver quarters. I asked if they could give $5 in quarters and got 8 more!!

Nice find, diden't even have to break out the detector. I can't even find a baked potato at our local Wendy's. They never have what's on the menu.

Man, I think I've only found a couple of those in all my years of detecting!
Very nice!
Quick thinking on your part and bigcatdaddy's, too. Offering to exchange the steel pennies for real money and asking for $5.00 worth of quarters, and getting even more silver change is too smart. Just don't eat the chili at Wendy's. The last time we ate there it tasted like dishwater. I got a 1964 roosevelt dime in my change about a month or two ago. It made my day, such as it was.
