Couldn't pass up this beauty for $1.
This novelty penny was created in response to inflation that occurred under the Nixon administration, implying that the penny was becoming smaller or less valuable.

It was the trophy platter from a 1967 Chevy Chase Club golf tournament. My biggest thrift store find ever.
My 6 year old gets excited about half dollar boxes, mostly for building houses and towers out of the rolls. We were down to the last 7 rolls when he dropped his coins on the table and heard it. He was so proud of this 40% 1967 that I put it in a capsule for him to save.
This is what it's all about right here! 💙

A couple of impaired proofs and a '58 Rosie to start the day. Going to be a good Sunday for football!
Found three silver dimes including a winded liberty! Been a while since I found a merc, so I am happy about that.
Also found 1.68g of stuff marked 10k gold that I will scratch test when I get an acid kit.
Then a few bobbles marked 925 including a funny little pendant.
And of course a pile of trash jewelry that went into the jar.
Also a couple bucks in spendables and some foreign stuff.
I’m new to the love of Hobo Nickels and recently was pointed to the Hobo Nickel Society by a woman named Candice Kagin.
I’m interested in all those things associated with their membership but you can’t really tell from the website being so dated and the PayPal link being dead etc. I also searched any references to them in this Subreddit and I only see posts with auction lots from a few years back.
Any insight about this group would be really helpful to me.
Thank you for your time.
Picked this up for 2 dollars today, 46 grams.
