Today, after weeks of searching, I finally found a priceless coin I had previously lost. Turns out it was just a really rusted over penny. FML.

It's a treasure hunt!!!

When I was a kid I was constantly digging our front yard to find a treasure. All I got was a rusty piece of metal. I was very happy though.

And there you found your pet dog's remains, the same dog your parents told you that ran away

I'd be searching for it if I was you

Or a hamster. ...DINKLEBURG.

I'm sorry OP, best be finding it! :D

Maybe you thought you were a dog that day and reburied it? 8 year olds and their imagination. Lol

That's not even that bad, unless you're depserate for money. Since it's been years you can't really regret it.

You don't know what you got til it's gone ;)

They paid paradise, and put up a parking lot ;)

They PAVED paradise, and put up a parking lot. Get it right

hi

Haha, paid. Because that makes sense!

Please tell me that you are being sarcastic.

Just like the dish ran away with the spoon...

Just like every girl ever with me as well :/

Haha

Huh?

are u interrupting yourself?

I'm sorry for my lame joke. I watched No Country For Old Men last night and it's still thick in my veins. I'll try harder next time.

Ha ha! I just watched No Country For Old Men too. I got that right away. Good comment no matter what people rate it, they are just not cultured enough to get it.

No it is not. I have a 1992 US penny worth 1000. I got it back as change. It is a fun hobby. Better than being on FML all day.

24, I'm intrigued, how was a 92 penny worth so much, when it isn't that old even. I've got a pile of 50's pennies thats only worth like two bucks total

Some times there's an error in the minting, like stuff stamped twice or upside down. If there's only a few of those errors, the coins can be worth a lot, even if it's a new coin. Of course, sometimes they do this on purpose to encourage collecting.

Lol so boring.

I don't collect coins, but I do happen to have a few foreign ones. It's kinda cool, they come in different shapes and everything.

Yeah it is a mule. Double die

Yeah I have been collecting for only a 2 weeks and have collected 3 war nickels and 2 1913 mercury dimes. That's worth about 300 bucks in all. All I have been doing is paying in cash for smaller purchases and looking through my change, so I think it is totally worth it, definitely in this economy!

He did say he was eight at the time. Totally understandable. OP, just move on. There's nothing you can do about it now.

Oh right sorry din read that part, I thought he found it 8 years ago

Only hundreds of dollars he could've got for free
