Found in change

Got a pretty old coin in change today. I have never posted one of these
"found in change" threads before but today I received a 1917 Lincoln in
change. This is the oldest coin I have received this way so far.
I knew it as soon as it hit my hand that it was old, it just had that
look. I waited until I got outside to check because I always feel like a
dork when I check my change while I'm still at the register. I feel like
they probably think that I am counting my coins to make sure they didn't
short me.

Congratulations, Jason! You got a coin that was shiny new when Babe Ruth
was a *pitcher* for the *Boston Red Sox*. ;-)

===============================
Did you check to see if it might be the 1917 DDO? Expensive find, if
it is.

I sure didn't! Now I'm going to have to find where I put it and give it
a check.
