WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?

No, dingus. Not that penny.

THIS MOTHER FUCKING 88 YEAR-OLD PENNY

Trying to find enough change to buy some Sun Chips and *BAM* ANCIENT PENNY.

No banana for scale because it's a god damn penny.

THIS BAD BOY WENT INTO CIRCULATION THE SAME YEAR GATSBY WAS PUBLISHED

"PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, OLD SPORT?"

TOO EXCITED, I STARTED PUTTING HIM AROUND THE OFFICE

"TELEPHONE, YOU SAY? I'M ONLY FAMILIAR WITH THE ROTARY PHONE, AS THE MODERN TOUCH-TONE PUSH DIAL WON'T BE INTRODUCED FOR ANOTHER 38 YEARS."

"IS THIS SOME FANCY FLAT TYPEWRITER?"

OH WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

Doesn't it look like Lincoln is smirking?

Smug-ass motherfucker.

I no longer have the penny, for a beast of such majesty should not be held in captivity. If any of you stumbles upon it, I expect pics.

I'll never forget you, Abraham Pennysworth.

You need to calm your shit, this is not that uncommon.

This one is in bad enough condition it's probably worth cents. $300 is for a never-circulated condition.

In that condition a 1925 Philadelphia mint penny is worth about 50 cents to one dollar.

You have to factor in that during, between, and just post either world war the economy was a bit lopsided and sometimes change was melted.
