1947 Wheatie Returned to "Owner" -- 60 years later and Across the Country!

I was searching outside an old house in New York recently and found a 1947 Wheatie. The owner is a cool guy, retired reporter, and he said he knew the woman who lived in the house in 1947, when they were kids. I thought that was cool, but didn't think much else of it. Just talked to him and he mailed the Wheatie to her in Washington State and she got a big kick out of it.

I think you just experienced the real value of that coin--returning it and hearing the response.
