Sunday Evening Hunt

[PeggyK]

I got out for a quick hunt Sunday evening -
It was a very busy weekend (mother-in-law visiting). I haven't been out much this month, as we have been doing spring cleaning and home renos.
I came home with a modern pin, and a duo of pennies - a Canadian 1938 George VI & a 1938 wheatie.
And the realization that my new AT-Pro is a heavier swing than my Ace 250. I need to build up some more arm muscles.

Hi Peggy,
It's great you were able to get out and nice that you didn't go home empty handed. I've found a lot of Canadian pennies over the years but none as old as the one you found. Congratulations!

Glad you got out. What denomination is the George VI ???

I think that he was Church Of England Mike.

I'm from Canada - We have the King/Queen of England on our coins. King George VI was monarch from 1937 to 1951. So a George VI coin will fall within that date. The surprise for me was the Wheatie, and I thought it was cool that both (found in different areas of the park I was in) had that same mintage year.

I was wondering if it was a penny, dime or????

Congratulations.

I knew what you meant Mike, just having a laugh.
