99 Year Old Aussie Penny

[washingtonian]

Hey folks!

Got the 2020 season kicked off today. No shiny but I think I found something even more fun, a 1921 Australian penny! No idea how this coin landed in Seattle. If only it could talk.





Other finds of interest include:
-A thimble
-A tax token
-14 wheats (all 40s/50s dates)
-A modern token
-A couple foreign coins

Not a bad few hours spent today. Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

A great 1921 Aussie cent. You might check PCGS to check value. If Aussie economy was like the US's, might be worth a lot.

It does make you wonder how some items get where they do. I dug an 1899 Canadian dime last year in a peanut field here in southwest Georgia.

Thank you. Just a common date but I'm still super happy with it.

That is wild. Sometimes you can tell a coin must've come back a war time souvenir but often it's a complete mystery.

Congrats on the nice hunt!

Thanks so much PoE!

That's Aussie one I find a ton of foreign coins for some reason. Good way to start the year. Tommy

Good stuff. Wonder what the journey was that brought it to where you found it?
